United were fairly lucky that night but it was the first time an English team got that far since English teams were banned from Europe (Heysel). It was a commonly held view that when English teams did return to Europe, European football had moved on. It took English clubs some time to readjust to it. 1-0 wins can be one sided but surely not as much as 4-0 or 3-0 one's of which there were several. Blinkered view from that poster as appears to be the norm.
