Unfortunately, the big teams of Europe's big leagues do not think much about the Europa League. In fact, most of the Premier league teams do not care about the Europa League. Because the incomes are not as high as in the Champions League. That's why I think Barcelona's priority this year is La Liga. I don't think you can beat Real Madrid in La Liga either. Barcelona is currently in the restructuring phase. He is establishing a team that will mark the coming years and he needs time for this.

Yes, this is what is very unfortunate when the clubs in the Europa League do not take the competition seriously there, I think that's what we can see and reflect on in the previous season in the Europa League. Because a club that is taken for granted can even become champions in this Europa League, it proves that indeed they are not serious in competition here. But I hope this season will be different from previous seasons where they can take the competition in the Europa League seriously. Also by joining several big clubs it can motivate them to show their best to win trophies.

In order to make the Europa League attractive, it shows up in the Champions League, which is the champion of the Europa League, apart from that, there is nothing attractive for big clubs. In addition, big clubs are already participating in the Champions League by becoming champions in their own leagues or by entering the top 3-4. The Europa league and the later conference league (formerly the cup winners' cup) is an attractive destination for medium-sized and small cubes in Europe. If these tournaments had bigger sponsors and bigger prizes, I'm sure the big teams that were eliminated from the Champions League would fight here as well. Football is no longer entertainment, it's a big economy for clubs and countries.

the europa league is not a target that is the main reference for big teams but they will always provide more effective competition every game. I'm not surprised if Laporta says that they are more focused on fighting for the Laliga title than the Europa League, whether that's a ridiculous word or not, of course, Barcelona have a pretty tough rally in the Europa League because they have to face Manchester United in February. maybe this season the europa league is more interesting than the previous season because several big teams in the domestic league are participating in enlivening the europa league such as juventus, barcelona, manchester united and arsenal so that every game seems to have hot tension.
