Teams definitely are NOT on even footings in the Champions League. Ajax and Porto types are definitely selling teams that are nothing like Barca or PSG.

If Celtics has been doing as well as Ajax in Europe, I am pretty sure its fans wouldn't have considered it "boring", and Ajax actually didn't dominate domestically as much as Celtics.

Just a few years ago, people were hoping that Brendan Rogers can lead the team to do OK in Europe, and I am pretty sure those were more exciting times. After years of disappointment it's now tiring.
