Can a tanking team be competitive in Champions league ?
yes, a team which is tanking but playing also in Champions League, can be competitive and can win it as NIK did it.
But I would say that is more demanding as playing a regular season as it needs more devotion.
We must checking every day in every game, to have the weak players in the League games (plus the wrong formation) and the strong players and formation in the CH.L. or Cup games.
