Celta Vigo

Celtic

I agree with the competition prize problem. UEFA needs to increase the prizes a little more. At least the prizes for the quarter-finals and beyond should be increased so that the teams in the tournament are more motivated.
Apart from that, a new cup means new excitement. It's also important for the prestige of the teams. Teams that cannot win the Champions League or Europa League can aim for this cup and be successful.
In the past, there were tournaments such as the Cup Winners' Cup, Intertoto Cup and Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. The Conference League is a very competitive tournament. Especially after the group stage, it's quite enjoyable. Look at it that way.

3rd elimination round starts this Thursday. Which games are you looking forward to?
Some great games:

Anderlecht vs. FC Sheriff
AZ Alkmaar vs. Vaduz
Lausanne Sports vs. FC Astana
Lugano vs. Celje 
Rapid Wien vs. Dundee United
Rosenborg vs. Hammarby
St. Patricks vs. Beşiktaş

Pretty though match-ups. We are in Quarter Final stage now. 8 teams fight for one Cup.
The last 8 teams in the tournament:

Bodø/Glimt - Lazio
Lyon - Manchester United
Glasgow Rangers - Athletic Bilbao
Tottenham Hotspur - Eintracht Frankfurt

Last 16 round will start this week. Are you excited? Which match-ups are you waiting for patiently?
Real Sociedad vs. Manchester United and Ajax vs. Eintracht Frankfurt games have too much potential. Roma vs. Athletic Bilbao will be very competitive, too.

Time for play-off stage second leg games. Which game are you most exciting for? Can all favorites go through the next round?
Roma vs. Porto looks the most exciting for me. Can Anderlecht and Galatasaray make a comeback?

Last match day is coming. Are you excited? All games will be played at the same time. Which teams will you watch tomorrow?

The Europa League action continues today. Which match are you most exciting for? There are plenty of good match-ups.

Fenerbahçe vs. Olympique Lyonnais
Hoffenheim vs. Tottenham Hotspur
Porto vs. Olympiacos
Lazio vs. Real Sociedad
Manchester United vs. Glasgow Rangers

Seventh round starts today with one match.

Who do you support? Galatasaray or Dynamo Kiev?

They are one of the favorites for sure.
Lazio and Athletic Bilbao are two of the strongest teams in the league. Manchester United and Tottenham didn't perform like them. In the end it's still in group stage so don't come to conclusions easily. As long as they advance to quarter final there will be no problem.

Merry Christmas to all the forum and their relatives. Hope you have a great day.

Lazio, Athletic Bilbao and Anderlecht are going close to perfect. The other favorites are also in the pot. With 12 teams eliminated, there won't be many surprises at this stage. Play-off match-ups are already a matter of curiosity. Teams can play their last matches according to the standings. The match-ups will be interesting.
