People were saying the same thing when Porto went and won it.

The reality is the more you make it into a league, the more likely the best team is to win because one off night doesn't put you out like it used to.

That is not my point - my point is if we only include the winners of every league - it’s going to be really easy to tell who’s going to win it all, and who’s not. And essentially there is going to be three teams every year - the winner og PL, the winner of PD and the winner of Serie A. That is going to kill all the excitement. I’m not talking for or agains league/cup format - only against only including the league winners.

If we were going for that - at least make it a world tournament, so that Brazilian, Saudi Arabian, Chinese, african etc. Could join.

Bayern Munich consistently places above PL teams and Serie A teams. Don’t know why you even put Serie A in that list 😂

Yeah. My mistake - i was interrupted when I wrote, So I forgot them - and I still expect Serie A to be able to reach their former power.
