Some of the big teams that collapsed in the Champions League, because they lack preparation for the competition. in the end, they had to drop down to the Europa League. Barcelona, Ajax, Juventus, Rome, Manchester United, must fight their way through the playoffs to win a ticket to the round of 16 later. clearly, the competition towards the round of 16 will be even more exciting because it brings together big teams. One of them is the Manchester United vs Barcelona match, which will ensure that the two teams will appear all out to fight for a ticket to the last 16 of the Europa League.
so in the last 16 of the Europa League, it looks like it will be even more competitive if the teams that failed in the Champions League manage to qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League. with the league paused due to the world cup, I think it will be an advantage for the teams to prepare everything to face the playoffs later after the world cup.
don't be so harsh
modern football is very stressful, players play (in my humble opinion) too many games
it is obvious that you have an athletic decline if you play league or cup
any athletic plan can't handle this pace of play, we all know it.. I always say it myself
better fewer matches and more quality, but those who sell TV rights don't think so
