Absolutely but I have a feeling it'll be a 0-0 bore draw and truly dreadful to watch.
I'd stop short of calling the Europa league pointless but it is an unnecessary distraction based on the number of games required to be played to progress. It's exactly this type of competition (champions league included) which fuels the big squad culture giving rise to unsustainable spending. It's progressively driving a bigger wedge between the big money teams and those who aren't so prosperous. By the time UEFA, FIFA and teh premier league decide that it's time for change it'll be too late.
