<br><br>Europa is huge,ACL is not at all close but reason here would be the difference in number of foreign players making Europa very superior.<br>
Though didnt watched many matches of ACL, this season few matches and last seasons smis and final i can say the ACL champions are good enough to challenge in europa till quarters at least...<div><br></div><div><br></div>

<br><div><br></div><div>That is only the top tiered sides. Europa is also known to have a bunch of Swiss, Danish clubs in the main stages as well and those clubs play the same as the AFC Champions League sides (Exception of a few like Basel). Clubs like Young Boys, Academica (Portugal), Hapoel Tel Aviv, AEL Limassol (Cyprus), Maritimo (Portugal), Molde, Copenhagen, AIK, Videoton, Partizan, Nefchi Baku, Metalist Kharkiv, and Helsingborg would all have to potentially fight it out to beat the Korean, Chinese (brilliant this year), and Saudi clubs.</div>
@Arsenalkid<;br>"I wish the AFC would allow perhaps some lower table Japanese, Korean,
Aussie, Iranian, Qatari, Saudi sides into the AFC Cup. Make it better
quality and challenge the smaller sides. At this moment the AFC Cup is
no different then the I-League. In fact I-League is better quality then
the AFC Cup matches."<br><br>Agree with you<br>

remember lajong's victory against Wellington Phoenix in a pre season tournament (lajong super series) . may be phoenix tried with some young ones but still lajong also isn't a high team in indian league. the format uefa follows for ucl and europa would be great. a 2nd qlfng round of acl and one afc final round spot for india, also 3rd 4th placed team of matured nations in afc cup.
