I wonder if this is really true any more. Sure, you would love to win your league, but if they had to choose between winning the league or winning the CL, I think most players would choose the CL. There's more prestige involved in that. That's why certain clubs (Liverpool) are built the way they are. They can play well in Europe, but their style doesn't translate to the EPL.

I wasn't trying to compare the Marseille scandal to what's going on in Italy. I brought them up because it's an instance where UEFA did kick someone out of the CL and I was curious if UEFA was denying they could do something that they've done in the past.
