The many big teams that fell from the champions league actually made competition in the european league now quite fierce, how could it not be, this season for the second time we will see barcelona return to play in the european league, as well as juventus which is one of the big clubs specialist champions league will compete in the second caste of the European league this season, the existence of these big teams has certainly made the European league this season no less fierce than the champions league because it is possible for us to see bigmatch matches later.
Yes, you are right. But teams like Barcelona, Ajax, Roma, Juventus and Manchester United and several other good teams still have to fight to get past the playoff phase so it is not certain that they will be able to reach the last 16. It's possible Barcelona, Juventus, Roma and Ajax qualify at this stage for the last 16 and if that's the case then the competition in the last 16 of the Europa League this season is really tough.
But now all the teams may not have the focus on this match because the World Cup is very close. I will be looking forward to some big matches in the Europa League this season because I think the competition for the title will definitely be very good compared to last season.
Yes, the Europa League now has teams no worse off than the Champions League. A lot of people think that Barcelona will definitely play in the final, but I think they can't handle the busy schedule of La Liga at home, where they also have to fight for first place and the Europa League. Barcelona are in good shape, but I don't think they are ready to work hard yet.
