The new UEFA format for the Europa League makes the competition more competitive and interesting especially football fans whose teams aren't playing in the competition. It's more demanding and exhausting which I makes it more difficult to win but the good thing about it is that at the end, we're surely gonna have a winner.
Because of the little difference in points accumulated by the teams in the competition, I've not been giving much of my attention to the competition but will be more interested when the competition reaches the knockout stages by next year.
The league format was actually aimed at creature more competition and I think that is almost achieved as unlike before the europa is now even more serious and very competitive as it now appears that getting pass the group stage alone isn't an easy one like the former where you have to literally just play against four teams in eight fixtures but this time you get stretched way beyond that and if you don't have the stamina and possible strength,,you may get relegated by the better sides.
