I have already said for few years now, as time goes on with the depth and money in EPL, CL will no longer be a priority for EPL teams who can earn 3 times as much by placing higher in the EPL table than by winning CL!!!
Pretty soon EPL teams will treat CL like europa league and league cup
and as i have been saying for a few years now, depth of EPL, schedule and competitiveness of EPL will only be more detrimental to EPL teams in europe. the grind is simply too much, they will have to rotate between exhausted squads constantly. Who do PSG, Bayern, Real and Barca have to play!? they can beat the next best teams in their leagues with their b squads!
meanwhile look at EPLs last place team QPR! close to 15 internationals on that tea. If they were in bundesliga they would probably finish 2nd!
