Basically, it takes the second tier teams of the previous year and the losers of CL pools in the current year.

Seems like the teams are competing to be the next best team after the ones who made the elimination round of CL.

Second rate trophy to me.

It's a major trophy for non-world class teams, and a mickey mouse trophy for the likes of United, Barca and Bayern.

If it is second rate compared to the CL, then i agree.

But it is a major trophy as it is not easy to win. Too bad the financial payout is not as high as the CL.

Considering which teams participated this year and which teams will participate next year, then yes. And the matches were very entertaining, too.

It is a major trophy...
Just like Euro's/Coppa America & World Cup...
World Cup is the best but Coppa America & Euro's are still prestigious & has it's benefits...

If we were to consider a ranking of club cup titles in order of prestige it would have to be something like this as far as European titles are concerned:

Champions League
League title (for major leagues)
Europa League
Club World Cup
League Cup
European Supercup
League Supercup

It used to be legit when only top teams were in it.

It's less high profile now but it's still hard to win and hey a trophy is a trophy.

Plus you get a crack at the CL champs in the super cup, which is nice.
