e-football will have some ridiculous answer for this.
But it was never the fat waiters fault this all happened.
KK only 5 points a better manager, with an open cheque-book and all his might

They should have invested in decent youth after they won the CL. They didn't do it while the champions were there to nurture them, and that's why they haven't won anything since.
The problem was the owners at the time, and since Rafa sold all the experienced players/they left for clubs that were doing well, there hasn't been anyone to step up. Stevie G and Carra have been relied on too much, and the new players have all come from
midtable clubs ( aside from Suarez, who is doing well).
If you look at that and compare it with the current top three you'll see that there's a mix of champions and youngsters. Without that mix the team lacks the experience to compete consistently.
Same thing happened to Arsenal, none of the invincibles are left, they all left a long time ago, and without leaders over the park, the young guys just choke and drown.
Short term pain for Pool, but the big difference is that they have now invested some money in players, this means that the typical " we'll be good in a few years " statement, might actually be true this time.
