The rate at which Television viewers are tuning in to watch Europa League matches or now the new kid on the block the Uefa Conference league is booming. In the past, people will just watch the Uefa Champions League and then log out for the rest of the week. The reason was the Conference League never existed until recently. The Europa League had been there for a while but was not receiving attention like the Champions League.
Fans of teams competing in these tournaments are really passionate. One will find out that no matter the scoreline, fans are always rallying behind the team till the final whistle. What also makes it attractive is the jerseys won by the various clubs competing in these tournaments.
Also, the way teams battle it out till the last minute is exciting to see. Some knockout matches produce high scores, extra time, and sometimes penalties to decide the winner. Matches that go in favor of the home team in the first leg, are then turned around in the second leg by the losing team. It is unpredictable. Just look at how the game between Rangers v Braga went. Braga won the first leg, and Rangers won the second leg and qualified as a result of the aggregate score.
Then the game involving Feyenoord and Slavia Praha was also exciting. It was topsy-turvy right from the first leg to the second leg. The first leg ended 3-3 and then the second leg ended 3-1 in favor of Feyenoord.
People who are into sports betting will understand the vast knowledge you can get from getting to stake bets on teams you won't normally hear of. Yes, that is what these two competitions bring, getting to know teams from countries where football is not a calling. You see teams from the Czech Republic, Albania, Israel, Moldova, and so on making history.
The Uefa Champions League is what brings some joy, due to the quality of players who have excelled in it. Also, the anthem for the competition sends goosebumps to anybody listening. It is indeed a premier competition. But there are instances where a team winning the Champions League has been beaten by the team winning the Europa League in the Super cup. That is a one-off match that happens after the Europa and Champions League final has taken place.
Nothing is certain in football, nothing remains permanent in football. Football transitions and does not stay the same.
