Elaborating, the league's tougher since you've to be consistent for 26 straight games. In CL my focus is 6+2+2+2+1. I divide them into segments, and focus on them. It can be very stressful to drop out of the title race, since we've to play 26 games anyway. We also play 13 opponents. In the CL on the other hand, 2 bad games and it's over, you don't have to bother much. And it's only 13 games, half of the league. And we can face only 6 opponents till the final (if the other finalist was your group member), the fewest in all the competition, else 7, despite the fact there are 32 teams. You can somehow avoid tougher teams by manipulation (as Nik does and I am considering so), but it's not possible in the league. Wenger would be sacked despite winning the FA Cup last year, for obvious reasons (but as long he stays there, I can taunt Arsenal fans ). A league victory is the true test of a champion.
