Forget the Champions League, forget the Europa League. I'm about to tell you why the Europa Conference League should be your new favourite competition.
[THREAD🧶]
You may dismiss the competition as a third-rate European trophy but for some it means everything. Last year saw Roma win their first ever European trophy and Jose became the first manager to complete the European treble. It's a brilliant competition that needs more attention.
European Debuts:
Due to the introduction of the competition these nations have been given the opportunity to make their European group stage debut.
🇦🇲 Armenia (Alashkert)
🇪🇪 Estonia (Flora)
🇬🇮 Gibraltar (LRI)
🇽🇰 Kosovo (Ballkani)
🇱🇮 Liechtenstein (Vaduz)
🇱🇹 Lithuania (Žalgiris)
Fans all have their favourite players and as much as they try to hide it, managers do too. Here are a few managers who have reunited with players at different clubs.

Neil Warnock and Paddy Kenny - Bury, Sheffield Utd, Leeds, QPR and Rotherham
Pep Guardiola and Thiago Alcantara - Barcelona and Bayern Munich
José Mourinho and Nemanja Matić - Chelsea, Manchester United and Roma
The reasoning behind your favourite players obscure squad numbers.
[THREAD🧶]
Phil Foden - 47
47 acts as a permanent reminder for Foden's late grandfather Ronnie who passed away aged 47. Aguero had even offered his number 10 shirt to Phil, but decided he'd stick with the 47.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 66
As with many youth players, a high squad is given to you on your first team debut as is the case with Trent. The kitman gave him the number 66 and since then has grown quite attached to it as he's never once asked to change.
Leon Bailey - 31
Bailey chose the number 31 down to his admiration of fellow Premier League winger Raheem Sterling. It was Raheem's first number at Liverpool where he had made it pro at just 16. Bailey looked up to Sterling and as a result only wanted to wear one number.
