The UEFA Europa League is Europe's second club competition in importance. Teams that did not qualify for the Champions League, or were knocked out in its qualifying rounds, compete for a European title and for a direct place in the following season's Champions League.
The Europa League combines a league phase with knockout rounds, which produces wide statistical variety. Many clubs use it to give minutes to players who feature less in their domestic league, which can affect statistical consistency between domestic and European matches. This is a key factor when analyzing teams that compete in both competitions at the same time.
