Why is champions league so much harder?

you have a very good team for your level. are you giving match bonus. i think since cl andd cups are using knock out format, your opponents are maxing the match bonus. so if they advance to the next round, they can recover the money. i think you should at least give one level higher than the minimum match bonus. also cl is more competitive. a lot of managers watch their matches. plus some change their formation to counter their opponent's formation. based on your player list, you don't normally have 2 strikers in the first team. maybe you should get another striker so you have that option.

Thanks, could be it. I don't give out match bonus, didn't know it effected that much. What's a good match bonus to set before CL games at my level?

Also I have another striker, Pradubkul, he's pretty good, bought him cheap and he has 5*
I've planed my player transactions so I can play virutally any formation I need to counter my opponent.

depends on how important is the match. for cup and cl finals, i always give the max bonus. same if i am behind in the second leg, or i am playing against a better team. if i am 10+ quality points higher, i don't give match bonus. if between 5-10 quality points higher, i give the minimum bonus. if less than 5 points better, i give the second or third to lowest bonus.
