Getting "seeding of the big" is good chance for lower clubs to grow. Experience in CL is great. For example: Malmo, Petrzhalka, Thun or Partizan - 2 of them will definetely be in CL. Great experience for them! And small teams realize, they DO have a chance. What motivation can be, if Petrzhalka knows, that after beating Celtic, it has to face Manchester United in QR3, which together means 99% relegation. And in nowadays the same Petrzhalka knows - beat one big club, and all the doors are opened! So, there are 2 important sides of one medal. |

And Artmedia and Thun deserve that bonus as much as any other team that matches their accomplishment. Now it's up to them to use it  Tonight was one of the biggest nights in european football and hopefully the first of many more to come |
