I noticed Lisbon, Rome, Bucharest, Prague, Vienna, Athens and Sofia. That seems like a lot. Answer: That's a good point, floormaster. It really is a lot, though the fact that the Europa League Group stage has 48 teams, not 40, mitigates it a little bit. That being said, there were only 3 cities with multiple teams 2 seasons ago (3 from Athens, 2 from Moscow, and 2 from Madrid), and just 1 city last season (Moscow), so 8 versus 3, in a tournament that is 20% larger, is a significant increase. Also, note that all are capital cities. Thanks for the comment. The number of cities with two teams this year in the Europa League is fascinating.
