Should Europe's Top Leagues be reduced to 16 Teams?

This is a thesis which FC Barcelona president Sandro Rosell is advocating for not only for the Spanish La Liga, but also for the English Premier League, Italy's Serie A and the French Ligue 1 who all have 20 team leagues along with other European top leagues like Germany's Bundesliga.

The approach from Sandro Rosell is interesting because of the reasons behind his thinking. Rosell is saying that his idea is in the interest of the players by having to play less national league matches; but also this would give a chance to the UEFA Champions League, Europe's continental club competition, to spread out and maybe even have matches on weekends to make it more marketable.

Only last week Sandro Rosell had said at the International Football Arena in Zurich that Spain's La Liga should be reduced from 20 to 18 and then 16 teams. It had created a stir in Spain with many questioning the Barca president's approach.

But with ideas of a European Super League always in the back of the mind and top clubs also looking at ways to increase their revenues, matches of the Champions League on Saturday's and Sunday's could just be the answer.

For an FC Barcelona to play Manchester United or AC Milan is more lucrative then some small Spanish league sides. Will European football discuss Rosell's idea? Will smaller European leagues help players and their clubs? What do you all think?
