Really love the site. Is there a way to view multiple football/soccer leagues (i.e. Premier League (PL) and Champions League (CL)) at once?

I know you said you're just maintaining the website, but if there were a simple way to follow a team, that would be a really nice QOL addition. That way I could follow a PL team and see their CL matches as well without having to switch between pages on the website to make sure I don't miss a match. Perhaps adding the team as an URL parameter could keep the design simple?

If you want to take it to the next logical step, there are more leagues that a football club can compete in such as the FA Cup and Europa League. This of course is Europe-centric.

The intention is to put the schedules for everything on this page:

The challenge is that these pages are really labor intensive, because I want to show relevant information for whatever league is happening, e.g., group stage points, leg of Champions League matches, and it's really difficult to figure out how to fit everything in just 45 columns.

I complained about it in this tweet: https://twitter.com/CodeIsTheEnd/status/1569489636900347904
