PARIS — One of the great, if occasionally confusing, aspects of European soccer is the sheer number of opportunities that exist for someone — anyone — to win something. It has not gotten so bad that associations are handing out participation trophies (yet), but in many of the big soccer countries there are so many concurrent competitions in any given season that it can sometimes feel like an exercise in memorization to simply keep track of them all.
Is this game in the league? The cup? Perhaps the League Cup? And would you rather be champions of the league or champions of the Champions League?
