Barcelona Fan Creates Hilarious Thread On Why The Europa League Is Better Than The Champions League

A Barcelona fan has given Xavi and his team a reason to be cheerful, with a helpful thread about why the Europa League is better than the Champions League.

All is not completely lost for Xavi's side, as they still have the opportunity to win the Europa League this season, having finished third in the group behind Bayern Munich and Benfica.

And one fan has really given the club a reason to smile, with a brilliant thread on why Barca's new competition is actually better than the one they've been knocked out of...

Rangers are one of the few teams who know they'll finish second in their group, with Lazio, Leicester City and Napoli amongst those who could be runners up and go on to face one the former Champions League sides.

Xavi was not happy with his side's performance in mid week, to no one's surprise, "Bayern dominated us," he said. "We always want to dominate but it was the opposite here. We must demand more. We're Barca. This must be a point of inflection to change the dynamic and many more things.

"This is the Champions League, but this is also our reality. It's the situation we're in. I'm angry. This is the reality and it p***es me off. We have to tackle it face on. There's nothing else for it.

"A new era starts today. We start from zero. Our objective is the Champions League, not the Europa League, but that is our reality now and we have to try and win it."
