Europa League Thread

If it was a league format of just those teams then I think it would be good. 14 games. Instead of the current monstrouserty we have.


Take the next best teams from those leauges that have 3 or four teams in the champions league. So that would be England, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, 5 teams and then take the next best three who partake in a preseason knockout of 16 teams where two finalists play and winner of 3rd place gets in.

Portugal are ranked 5th with France 6th. For this year that would have given:
Spurs, Valencia, Freiburg, Fiorentina, Braga and 3 other non-CL teams.
 
Europa League quarter-final results:
Benfica 2-0 AZ Alkmaar (Agg 3-0)
Juventus 2-1 Lyon (Agg 3-1)
Sevilla 4-1 Porto (Agg 4-2)
Valencia 5-0 Basel aet (Agg 5-3)

Basel's elimination, after winning the 1st leg 3-0, means they stay in 20th position in the UEFA rankings with Tottenham in 19th. That will be our final position - which will be used for next season's seedings ... if we are in a UEFA competition.

Benfica look tight at the back, Juve have their work cut out for them at home. Great game, apart from some of the theatrics as usual.
 
yep, all those hand gestures are begging for a ymca tribute cut

i hope benfica lose the final, i don't like their coach
