Europa League Could Be Scrapped in Favor of Expanding Champions League to 64 teams: The Daily EPL

UEFA is considering scrapping the Europa League and expanding the Champions League from 32 to 64 teams. UEFA says it’ll make a decision in 2014, but if the proposed move is approved, it could mean that 7 Premier League clubs will enter the Champions League instead of just the top four.

That’s great news for clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. But it’ll also make the Premier League more competitive as clubs try to get into the top 7.

What do you think about the proposed move by UEFA? Will it improve the Champions League or dilute the quality? Share your opinion in the comments section below.
