Europa League is no consolation prize anymore, guy. These elite teams: Roma, Man U, among others are failing out of the Champions League? Their displeasure from this. This redemption arc is their opportunity to show they still have power to be reckoned with. They are going all in, every single match; they are not playing about
Big team? That is transforming the entire freaking game, bro. These teams are driven for the victory, not only for a participation prize. That strength? It stinks over, guy. You got smaller clubs; they might not be able to stay up, but the major guys? They define the tone and transform every game into a struggle. It's erratic, fascinating, and that's what makes the competition hellful
How i can blame you? You're absolutely right, it's not a consolation prize at all, it's a real championship, even a difficult one, where teams of a certain caliber compete.
I wouldn't really say it's a smaller cup, the earnings will certainly be smaller, but in my opinion it's a
very tough tournament.
