Season summary

Club Brugge failed to defend their title. Despite a famous win over reigning champions A.C. Milan, they also failed to progress from their Champions League group. A third-place finish in the group was enough for the club to continue their European campaign in the UEFA Cup, although they were soon knocked out in the fourth round.

In

gollark: I could probably PR in a bit more documentation for the websocket bit, though, good idea.
gollark: I'm just saying that because that documentation exists, it's fine, but it's not "self-documenting".
gollark: Having documentation there clears it up, though.
gollark: Consider the "rich" function. If you consider the arguments there, and its name, you might be able to guess "oh, maybe that gets the richest users", but you may get it wrong and end up annoyed.
gollark: Stuff isn't particularly self-descriptive a lot of the time. Not as much as comments and stuff make it.
