To welcome the return of our arch nemesis, the Champions League, we're releasing a preview of the Europa (League) League Phase!

While still a week away from UEL football, we're stepping in to answer all your questions about the new format and the pros and cons of the switch from traditional group stages.

Then, we predict which clubs will qualify for the knockouts and which will receive a bye by finishing in the top 8, before finishing with some of our favorite fixtures throughout the 8 League Phase match-days.

And if you're a Conference League sicko, never fear - our UECL preview pod will be up this time next week!

Cheers Maarten Martens!

Our Club Spotlight series returns for the new season, and this time we turn our attention to the Basque Country and the pride of Donostia-San Sebastián, Real Sociedad.

The famous club is a founding member of La Liga, a proud owner of 2 top-flight league titles and 3 Copa del Reys, and of course, a proud part of Basque culture.

Maxwell takes David through the club's history, its past accomplishments, its recent success and tactics under coach Imanol Alguacil, and its intertwinement with the region.

(Apologies for any mispronunciations...)

Cheers Imanol Alguacil!

Qualifying is over! I repeat: qualifying is OVER.

That's right, we have our 36 League Phase teams decided in both the Europa and the Conference League, and we're walking you through how each club got there in the final matchday of the qualifying rounds.

Fiorentina and Chelsea eek through, Lens upset by Panathinaikos, and Larne and other small-nation clubs shine.

Cheers to Tiernan Lynch!
