Among the teams that have already secured a place in the Europa League, Aston Villa and Lyon stand out to me. These two teams could make it to the finals. While the other teams aren't as ambitious, I suspect the teams that will emerge from the qualifiers won't be too ambitious either.
Why do you think so? Aston Villa's last 5 games haven't been that great so far. They drew against Newcastle and lost against Brentford. They did win against Roma and Villareal, so that's that. Do you think their league form isn't indicative of how they'll perform on the UEL, like Manchester United or Spurs last season? I don't understand how you can conclude their ambitions based on the qualifiers' results or something else.
