Uefa Considering Merging Champions and Europa Football Leagues

Big news for football in Europe could be coming.

Uefa president Michel Platini confirmed that they are discussing merging the Champions and Europa Leagues.

If the merger happens it would bring about a super league with sixty-four teams.

For the most part, the Europa League takes a second seat to the Champions, especially financially.

Teams in the Champions League make at least ten times as much money as those in Europa.

Ironically, some of the richest Champions League teams have threatened to split off and form their own league, if the merge doesn't happen.

A decision on the matter may come soon, and it may not.

Uefa wouldn't actually make the change til 2015 or 2018, if they decided to go ahead with it.
