Thrylos became the first Greek club to win a major European trophy following their triumph in Athens.

Chelsea are set to be the only English team competing in the competition this season, should they not slip up against Servette in their play-off second leg later this week.

SunSport has all the details you need on the new Conference League format and the upcoming draw.

What is the new Conference League format?

Like the Champions League and the Europa League, the Conference League will also ditch the traditional group stage format.

Instead, the three European competitions will adopt a brand new league phase.

The Conference League will have a 36-team league stage, with each side facing six different teams, three at home and three away.

The top eight of the overall table advance to the round of 16, while sides finishing ninth to 24th will contest the knockout round play-offs, with the victors filling the remaining spots in the last 16.

From then on, the traditional knockout rules will apply.
