After the exit of FC Barcelona from UEFA Champions League, fans worldwide expressed their disappointment in various ways. While some celebrated Messi for holding the team together over the years, others attacked those they hold responsible for the mess. However, one twitter user who seems to be a true Barca loyalist used the opportunity to tell the world why this “disrespected” Europa is the best in the world.
The following are key points made in that thread. Read the bases of his argument and be the judge wherever you are.
The Europa League has the best anthem ever heard in this sports.
The Europa League has more teams than the Champions League. More competing teams means more difficult to lift the trophy.
The Europa League trophy (15kg) is twice as heavy as the Champions League trophy (7.5kg). This proves that the Europa League trophy is quite literally a BIGGER prize.
The Europa League has massive and historical clubs like Napoli, while the Champions League has small teams like Malmo and Club Brugge.
Presidents and owners of top European clubs tried to replace the Champions League with the Super League, but they wanted to keep the Europa League because they know it’s the best.
Real Madrid have won the most Champions Leagues (13), which is more than twice as many times as Sevilla (the most successful team) have won the Europa League (6), proving that the Europa League is much harder to win.
Legendary footballers like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Paolo Maldini, Xavi, and Andrés Iniesta have each won the Champions League 4+ times. Meanwhile none of them EVER won the Europa League in their illustrious careers. Therefore, the Europa League is much harder to win.
Winning the Europa League means you are the best in “Europe”, whereas if you win the champions league, “champions” isn’t even a continent so you aren’t the best anywhere.
End of thread. Hope this helped you realize that FC Barcelona are finally about to play in the biggest competition in the history of life. Are you convinced or how many points do you agree with him?
