Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
I totally agree. Despite the fact that it isn't the Champions League, its still a competition with numerous sides of great quality. Odds are, if you're playing in the quarterfinals of this tournament, you beat some good, if not very good teams along the way. I'm very happy for Fulham, who probably are still shell-shocked that they're still playing in this competition. Regardless, it makes me wish that Moyes played a more attacking squad against Sporting a few weeks ago.
There's still quality in the Europa League. Most of the teams will be in the champs league next season so to say its not as tough as the champs league isnt totally true IMO. Its not often a champs league drop out wins the europa league whic says a lot.
And you need european footy. You need to know what its all about before you step up to play better european sides.
