The champion league s the biggest tournament in Europe and every team opportuned to get qualified to the champions league will never take it for granted and must have equally proven their capacity in their various domestic leagues I do not regard any team as a small team in the champions league although without much dwelling, it is obvious it is not all teams that have the capacity of the elite teams, so instead of calling them small teams, I will regard them as the average teams to have proven their ability to reach the champions league.
