monaco,lyon and marseille played well in the europe
competitions, but that doesnt mean that the french league is better
than the top 3 leagues.
one of the reasons y the french teams won agst their supposely
stronger rivals is ironically due to the difference in league
standards.
teams like psg, auxerre offer lesser competition than teams like
newcastle, birmingham and villa...if u put a team like monaco in
the epl or liga...they will definitely face tougher
competiton.
thus teams like marseille and monaco have more energy levels in
europrean competitions compared to their italian, spanish and
english counterparts.
also, the tag underdogs means there is no pressure on them at
all.
essense is substance.zatoichi.
