Bordeaux ended PSG’s unbeaten Ligue 1 streak at 14 with a 2-2 draw. They deserved to get a point, they played really hard

It was a rough season for the team with no trophies this year and no Libertadores next year, but seeing Gabi’s career resurgence and silencing of the haters made up for the struggles.

We have a lot of rebuilding to do before next season though. Hopefully Cuca returns as the manager, and the next generation of kids we have in the pipeline are as good as everyone says they are.

A third European club competition with the working title 'Europa League 2' will be introduced from 2021.

One English team will enter the play-offs of the new tournament, while Scottish sides may miss out on Europa League places in a reshuffle.

As part of Uefa's 2021-2024 cycle, the Europa League will be halved in size to 32 teams with an extra play-off round between the group stage and last 16.

The new tournament will be played on Thursdays alongside the Europa League.

Every country's champions will still enter the Champions League, but only teams from the 15 top-ranked countries will go into the Europa League group stages or qualifiers.

That means teams from leagues below that level - which at the moment would include Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, excluding their champions - would go straight into 'UEL2' qualifying rounds.

The new competition and Europa League will have the same format - eight groups of four teams with the winners going into the last 16. There will be a play-off before that round for the teams who finish second in the group and sides who finish third in the groups of the higher tournament.

The winners of the tournament will qualify for the following season's Europa League.

The Champions League format does not change.

Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said: "The new competition makes Uefa's club competitions more inclusive than ever before. There will be more matches for more clubs, with more associations represented in the group stages.

"This competition was born out of ongoing dialogue with clubs through the European Club Association."

At least 34 countries will have teams in a group stage, compared to 26 at the moment.

So you win the tournament...you'll qualify for the Europa League....

Basically a revamped Intertoto Cup
