Michel Platini has expressed his frustration with French clubs’ underestimation of certain competitions, particularly the Europa League. He criticizes the attitude of French teams, citing Lille’s lack of interest in the Europa League over the past few years. Platini emphasizes that big clubs, as exemplified by the Europa League final featuring Chelsea and Benfica, are actively participating in the competition. He encourages French teams to take these tournaments seriously and not undermine their importance. As a consequence of such attitudes, France has slipped to sixth place in the UEFA index behind Portugal.
