    When did the CL become superior to the Euros?

    I assume that the last 4 in the 2016 CL would beat the semi finalists in the Euros more often than not. How far does this trend go Back? Would it apply to 1992, 1996, 2000?

    If Liverpool or Nottingham Forest had played England in 1980 they'd have stuffed them. And England were favourites going into those finals.

      About the last Euros where I expect the winners would have given that year's CL winners a tonking was Holland in 1988 v PSV Eindhoven. And I'm not sure about that.

      Spain in 2012 against Chelsea, would have been close. It pains me to admit, but the 2008 equivalent would not have been. Manchester United would have wiped the floor with them.

        I'm pretty sure Liverpool did play England in the 1980's.

        Or did I just make that up?

          France 1984 would beat that Liverpool side, I think.

          But we also have to compare semi finalists, who can still be quite weak in the CL as well as in the Euros

            If we bring world cups in

            1978 Liverpool beat Argentina

            1982 Italy beat Villa

            1986 Argentina beat Steua

            1990 Milan beat West Germany

            1994 Same as WC Final, maybe

            1998 and 2002 Real probably beat France and Brazil

            The ones since then are close but I think 2014 Real beats Germany

                Real Madrid would beat this year's Portugal 4-0. In fact they'd let Ronaldo play for Portugal, and win 3-1. Let's not pretend otherwise.

                  Eh? Milan lost 2-1 to West Germany in the second round.

                    How would you even begin to try to gauge something like this.

                      Every team in the Premier League and The Championship (and the top six in League One) would give England a proper tonking.

                        The Copa Libertadores has always been more entertaining than the Eur- oh hang on, that's not the CL you mean is it. As you were.
