In this scenario by smaller leagues I mean any league starting from the 6th placed league in the coefficients. The German and the French teams have seemingly not shown interest to join so far, that's great on them.
This topic includes the likes of the Portuguese, the Dutch, the Russian, the Greek leagues, and so on. It includes clubs like Porto, Sporting, Ajax, PSV, Zenit, Olympiacos, Basel, Brugge, Shakhtar, and it also includes the also historic clubs from even smaller leagues like FCSB (Steaua), Red Star Belgrade, Rangers, Celtic, Fenerbahce, Besiktas, ...
The Super League has 15 clubs that are magically guaranteed qualification every season. That means that 5 more clubs can qualify. The "founding father" clubs will surely not take part in the CL or EL anymore.
If Roma, Napoli, Leicester, Sevilla, Valencia, and so on are still allowed to qualify for one of the other 5 slots, then what are the chances that clubs from the "other" European countries could even still play against the "big clubs" in Europe?
What are the chances that Ajax could throw out Real and Juventus again or that Shakhtar would eben be allowed to beat Real home and away once more?
