    The number of CUP Trophies = The number of CL Trophies...

    So the number of people winning the CUP = The number of people winning the CL...

    So probability of winning the CUP is = to the probability of winning the CL...

    So the conclusion is :

    Difficulty level of CUP = the difficulty level of CL.........

    As explained before,
    Cup winner is one out of 128 while CL winner is one out of 112
    so cup is in fact slightly more difficult to win.
    The numbers don't reflect this difficulty though.

    But in reality, cup is more luck-based due to the high variation of team quality and is prone to abuse,
    such that it is difficult to win it without sacrificing performance in other competitions.

    Against teams that focused all resources on the cup and neglect other competitions, your odds of winning won't be good enough to win it consistantly if you don't do that too, even if your entire team is 9*.

    CL is competition for 32 teams (8 groups of 4 teams, then knockout for 16 top/2nd teams).
    Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...

    You have overlooked how those teams were selected.

    The last season league act as a qualification tournament where 4 out of 14 teams became qualified to the group stage of CL.
    So the CL is actually one winner out of 8*14 = 112 teams
