so i'm a newcastle united fan and we were robbed in overly long extra time, where the referee only ended when psg equalised, crushing our hopes of knockout UCL but we are very likely to secure europa league football, thing is though, i'm not exactly keen on swapping out playing milan and dortmund for maccabi haifa and sheriff tiraspol, anyone relate or able to convince me to be motivated about europa league?

Mate, this is your team's first European season in fucking donkeys years. If you refuse to watch a competition that your team can get a deep run into while playing against similar stature opponents and historical clubs, you're mental. In the knockouts you could be playing the likes of Rangers, Olympiacos, Sporting Lisbon, etc. Massive clubs with history is surely something you could get excited for?

Just comes off like you're sulking about getting unlucky from a dodgy decision, enjoy the journey because it may be a one in a lifetime experience. I got to see my lifelong team (Rangers) get to the Europa League Final beating Leipzig and Dortmund and it will live with me for the rest of my life. Sitting in the same seat as my first ever time watching Rangers against Queen's Park after we got demoted to the bottom of Scottish Football
