Not sure how I feel about really. None of our clubs lasted any longer than usual & the club that lasted the longest started in the CL & went into the EL. I'm sure it was only invented as another money making scheme & to help prevent the 3rd/4th based teams in the big nations from lowering themselves to meet some unworthy nations champions in the CL!
They'd do better to actually have the CL for Champions imo, it's a mockery of its own name when smaller nations champions have to go through a whole qualifying process and the big nations get 3/4 teams automatically qualifying for it. If anything all the excess big nations teams should have to be the ones going through the qualifying process because they're not champions & the smaller nations champions actually automatically qualify for the tournament.
