As it stands:

Europa League: Leipzig, Frankfurt, West Ham, Rangers

Conference League: Leicester, Marseille, Roma, Feyenoord/Slavia

 

It's obvious that Conference League was a big success at least this 1st season. 

It has ended up better than what I though and not just because we are in it. The games have been highly enjoyable and competitive

Lot of classic European teams in the latter stages.

 

 

The design of the tournament means that should always be the case. 

 

It's the Duckworth Lewis of football. The algorithm somehow gets the right last 16...and at the same time, has helped condense the EL into a better level 32 team group stage (many EL groups could've easily passed as a weaker CL group)

Uefa must be absolutely buzzing with themselves. And well earned too. Nations league has worked and now this. Credit where it's due.

Feel the same. Skepticism quickly faded once it got going. The chance for the D-tier teams especially - been incredible seeing Luxembourg rising with regular on-the-level ties in particular - they're on the cusp of being the new Iceland.

 

I still maintain that we're good enough for the Europa League, looking at the teams in it. But hell, we've got some quality left in this one too.

The tournament achieves what UEFA wanted - more smaller leagues get to have teams in a group stage, but you will have good match-ups from the R16 on...

Europa Conference League -

1. Roma
2. Marseilles 
3. Feyenoord
4. Leicester City
 

vs

 

Europa League -
1. Frankfurt
2. RB Leipzig 
3. Westham United 
4. Braga/Rangers
 

I actually think the conference league has the traditional bigger and more historic clubs. I also don’t think there is much difference in quality between the two sets of semi finalists.

 

What a great idea the UECL has turned out to be 👍🏻

If they'd just ran it back as the Cup Winners Cup from the start it would have had the respect back in August. It was ony ever the Conference part of the name that gave it such a low bar.

This is exactly the point - traditionally we had 3 European trophies, and all were respected.
