If its about who wins maybe, but the whole point and difference between football in europe and most american sports is how much more passionate they are

The issue with a champions league only champions thing is it massively devalues the tournament, also how often would a good game happen?

Theres 5 teams that would matter in it and 30 odd ones who would be fodder
