Don't think I realised it was a thing! Interesting idea anyway, even though some winners of national leagues can't even get a place in the third-level european tournament! (interesting to see a team from Gibraltar in there though)

I assume the 2/3 place teams in each league go into it? Is there no qualifying campaign?

Four knockout rounds of qualifying so still not easy to get a place in it if you're from a less prominent country!

So well done to the Gibraltar side then - this is basically division 3/4 in a super league!

Oh dear Roma lose 6-1 to Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt.

I still think Spurs will make it out of the group but I don't think they have what it takes to beat the likes of Bodo/Glimt.

You know its bad when you're losing to a team with a slash in its name.

Spurs played their full-strength squad & still almost bottled it against Vitesse again...

Leicester practically through currently 3-0 up against Randers 7-1 on aggregate.
