+title <- ("Does domestic league competitiveness hurt European performance?")
 motivation_one <- "Does competing in a more competitive domestic league provide an advantage or disadvantage in European competition? At a theoretical level, there are arguments supporting both perspectives. Teams from more competitive leagues are regularly exposed to high-quality opposition, which may better prepare players for the intensity and standard of European matches. Conversely, teams from less competitive leagues may be able to prioritise European competition by rotating players domestically, reducing fatigue and ensuring key players are available for important continental fixtures."
 motivation_two <- "The 2024/25 UEFA Champions League provides a useful illustration of these contrasting domestic scenarios. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), one of the finalists, secured the Ligue 1 title on 5 April 2025 with six league matches remaining. As a result, they were able to focus all of their attention on the Champions League from the quarter finals, as they had already reached the Coupe de France final (which would not be played until the week before the Champions League final). In contrast, Internazionale remained locked in a Serie A title race until the final day of the season, ultimately finishing one point behind Napoli. They had also only played the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final (which they lost 4-1 on aggregate to city rivals Milan) before the quarter finals begun. PSG therefore represent a club succeeding in Europe while operating in a relatively less competitive domestic environment, whereas Internazionale demonstrate that strong European performances can also be achieved while facing significant domestic competition."
 motivation_three <- "This study investigates the factors that contribute to league competitiveness and examines how these characteristics relate to the performance of clubs from each country in European competitions. By analysing multiple dimensions of competitiveness rather than treating it as a single concept, the research seeks to identify whether particular competitive environments are associated with stronger or weaker European performance."
