Yeah, I was thrilled they brought back in more knockout ties - come to think of it, there weren't many small teams in there, were there? Lokomotiv Moscow were one, I guess you could call them the token surprise team.

I don't know if the UEFA Cup necessarily had more prestige, but it was certainly a LOT harder to win, since that was the tournament with all the big nations having up to four entrants, along with an extra round. Now there was a competition that only the big boys won.
