Alas, we can never go back to that - the gulf in quality is now so absurdly large it would be a massacre. All for money.
I would like to see the Champion's League move to being Champions and Cup-Winners only, with 2nd/3rd/4th place teams in the Europa League.

That would boost the importance of domestic cups, and put the Europa League on more equal footing with the Champion's League in terms of team quality and therefore financial attractiveness.
