Speak for yourself.
I've watched Sporting-Lille instead of Liverpool.
Yesterday I've watched Brighton-Wolves rather than City.

To be fair Bologna and Brest earned their spot as much as Girona did. The bigger issue is that once these type of sides have a good season, they then get sodomized by the rest of Europe and arrive at the next year's tournament crawling.
In pain.
Crying.
Leaving a trail of blood.

It wouldn't have been a 3 peat then. But the sad part is they finally managed to tame VAR in CL, last season being the living proof they adapted to it in Europe too, not only in Spain.

Looking forward to watch Young Boys playing Brest at Wankdorf.
And at the end they could also eat spaghetti Bolognese.

You can watch whichever game you like, but this is not CL level encounter
SuperLeague will erase all these games
On a positive note, you don't have to watch those EL matches. The big games are spread out thoughtfully so it's pretty easy to choose the 'big' game to watch. Not like they have crammed Barca-Bayern, Madrid-Pool and City-PSG on same day.
For a neutral a gameday consisting of Dortmund-Barca and Juve-City might be 'hard' to choose from. Overall the scheduling is good and you can avoid watching your Young Boys and Brests as long as your team don't face them.

Its hard to enjoy the stakes when you compare this oversized group to groups of last season like Dortmund, PSG, Milan, Newcastle or Bayern, Inter, Barca, Plzen the year the before.
Need to see how this shapes up once we hit the half way point of games and whether it is a flop or not.
The only thing I'd say that would make it more interesting is if the preliminary playoff round was over just one leg with home advantage to those who finished 9-16.
But nope, UEFA has to add two extra games instead of one.

Yep.
But for the preliminary KO extra game especially, it should be short and sweet, and give extra incentive to finish in the top 16.
Top 8 already bypass that stage which is reward enough.
IMO.
Where would they play though?

The guy is the real deal!!
Will be better than Nico Williams in 1-2 years and his projection is to become better than the likes of Leao
Have posted about him recently in the Bundesliga thread
Unfortunately, with him playing at Dortmund, and not leaving earlier, now his price will rise a lot

feel also, his ability to cut inside and to score is phenomenal
he is Dortmund's new golden boy but he will probably cost 100m after this season

home pitch advantage for teams that finish higher on the table then top 4 on neutral venue.
