Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Going all cliche here, on paper at least, it looks like a decent list of teams taking part. Reality is that it’ll probably be the status quo of disparity between the super rich and the not-so super rich but still rich and then the rest, usually your some of Pot 3 and 4 sides.

ScoRoss 800 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Liverpool have reached a Europa League Final and a Champions League Final in the last five years and are still in the third pot?! How bad were their other seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Just noticed how there’s a hell of a gap in Europe without any Champions League representatives.

Didn't a Cypriot team crush some pussy a couple years back? Edit. Apoel in 2012. Qualifying in a group of Zenit, Porto and Shakhtar.
