European football's governing body Uefa is considering ditching the Europa League in favour of extending the Champions League from 32 to 64 teams.

"We're discussing it. We will make a decision in 2014. Nothing is decided yet," Uefa president Michel Platini told French newspaper Ouest-France.

It means seven English clubs and five Scottish teams could qualify for European football's elite competition.

Uefa are looking at changing the format of European competitions from 2015.

Could this be the beginning of a Euro league?
I personally would love to see it as a promotion and relegation from the national leagues. Would be hard to start though.

i dont think a euro league could ever work.
would be hard for national leagues to do well when there heavy weights dont even compete in it.
could you imagine a premier league with no man utd, chelsea, man city etc...
