WI Holy League laid siege in Constantinople in 1571?

In 1571 the Holy League Fleet defeated the Ottoman Fleet in the Battle of Lepanto...
After their success Don Juan d' Austria set plans to attack Dardanelles and lay siege to Constantinople...
But internal struggling and disunity between the forces of the Holy League cancelled his plans...
WI the Holy League had attacked Constantinople in 1571?
How is that changing History? Any thoughts?

They lacked forces. It would end up in a crushing defeat of the League.
