Trying to keep my mind off Saturday and was wondering about the general quality of the top leagues across Europe. How about all the the teams from the major leagues (Premiership, La Liga etc) who were relegated come together in a Champions League format. What country would come out on top? Would difference between the leagues be dramatic?

Just a thought...

Good grief. If what the OP suggested happened, that looks like one of the most boring dull-fest footy tournaments EVER.

What would it be called. The Losers League, The Channel 5 (we know nothing about football) League, The Reward for being Rubbish last Season League or something else

So would they play it over the close season a-la pre season Emirates Cup or would happen over the course of the following season?

To be fair though, I imagine Freiburg would probably do okay
