"Unfortunately I don't have an answer for that."
Of course you do : the rules changed.
Suffice it to say that of the teams often in the current CL, three of them would have been playing near always in the 1980s UEFA Cup format.

The competition was traditionally open to the runners-up of domestic leagues, but the competition was merged with UEFA's previous second-tier European competition, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, in 1999. Since then, the winners of domestic cup competitions have also entered the UEFA Cup.

Mistake is you took "runners-up" to mean 2nd placed teams. But when used in plural it can sometimes refer not only to whoever's second, but also 3rd, 4th etc. That was the usage in the above context.
Europe's top leagues had multiple entrants since the very first edition.
Club or country? Country, no question.
Remembering 1966 and the excitement the win caused and as it's only once every four years I think it's difficult to compare club v country because club is every year, the world cup is far more exclusive as it's much rarer. But for this season I would prefer England to win the World Cup rather than Spurs lifting a trophy last season.
bet if we were good you'd like them more #gloryhunters
