Obviously that was hyperbole, man howay
Uefa stated that the point of this was to have more big games and more games that mattered, and they've failed massively with both. Even what could have been their saving grace tonight has turned into a wet fucking blanket, and a bunch of Europa League level teams will eventually have been knocked out. Sure some teams will have had a good time playing in the CL with the big boys, but if you can't see that this whole thing has been an exercise in getting more of their favourite teams through easily enough and just making more money, then I've got some FFP and PSR sell you.
