Yes you are right
thanks to the defections of the other tournament strong teams have come here, such as Juventus and Barcelona who raise the quality of the matches
and as a result the games become fun
without considering that they are followed by many fans (like me) who can no longer watch the Champions League (for this season)
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.
This season's Europa League smells like the Champions League, a surprise occurs when there are more big clubs in the Europa League than imagined. What caught the attention of football fans the most in the Europa League was the game Barcelona vs Manchester United. These two clubs competed more frequently in the UCL in previous seasons, due to their inconsistent performance which forced the two of them to fight on the ECL stage.
Apart from Manchester United and Barcelona, there are other big teams like Juventus, Arsenal, Ajax and several other big teams who are ready to give competition in the ECL this season. If the big teams make it to the quarter-finals, this season's ECL feels like UCL. The final will also be more exciting when compared to the last few seasons.
