After the Champions League, it is the Europa League that takes over this Thursday evening with the first matchday of the group stage. As every year, many players who have passed through the Maurice Revello Tournament will play in the competition. This season, they are more than fifty.
New season, new format. For this 2021-2022 edition, the Europa League is getting a new look with a streamlined format modelled on that of its big sister, the Champions League. Reduced to 32 teams, it will comprise 8 groups and will resume its final phase at the beginning of 2022 with the round of 16, instead of the previous round of 32.
A tighter format with fewer matches, but a much more homogenous and higher level. Some groups even look like Champions League ones.
As every year, we will follow with attention all the players who have passed through the Tournament and who are competing in the competition. There are 55 of them this year.
