I think they are missing the chance to make this a three night epic serial.

The whole thing is ridiculous. The groups stages of the European competitions are as boring as hell, except for the fans of the teams involved...maybe. Why on earth do we need more of them?🤷‍♂️

Details of the format. From my point of view there's just too many matches to care. This also shows that there are some teams already qualified for the interminable qualifying rounds.
