Europa League 25/26

Might as well get it going.

Playoffs dates are 21st and 28th Aug. Prem season starts on the 16th Aug. Conf League starts 2nd Oct.

Teams in from the big leagues

Rayo Vallecano, Mainz, Strasbourg. Italy finish later tonight. Lazio currently in the spot but Juve, Roma and Fiorentina could all take it.

I went to the Roma vs Viktoria Plzen game last night (when in Rome and all that). Assumed Roma would be another of the favourites, but they were really poor.

I was wondering about past Europa League formats too, and ended up finding loads of old group tables and stats through la grada online. It's handy for looking back at how English clubs performed over the years and seeing all the weird group setups before the current format.
