European football fans shift their focus toward the bottom of the championnat as the season draws to a close, because at the end of each season, the lowest-finishing three teams of the top league are relegated—sent down to a lower division—while the top three teams from a lower league are promoted to take their spots.Contrarily, in American sports we see bottom-tier teams coasting to the finish and even losing games on purpose in order to secure better draft positions for the following year. In Europe, the prospect of relegation forces desperate clubs to fight harder than ever at the end of the season just to ensure that they remain in the league. For clubs, relegation battles are high-stakes: relegated clubs lose around $30 million the following season due to lost TV revenue.
