Looking for receipts š
You have to consider but that the EL is significantly easier than the CL.My post was based on the group stage as per:
For example some years we were getting Dundalk on a Thursday while say Liverpool were getting Porto/Benfica or someone like that on a Wednesday night. We could play half a team thought Liverpool couldn't.
Also that idea is only looking at it 1 way. CL to PL and not PL to CL.
For example Liverpool played on Saturday evening and then had to play Real on Tuesday. That could be similar in the group phase. So you may get more rest for your PL game but less rest for your European game.
Either way we have seen big teams go deep in both European competitions and the league. The best players can play twice a week. I expect us to put up a decent performance in the EL.
