Don't know if it's more FC25 game or real life, but well done to such a modest country with all-in-all very modest clubs. I mean, Danish clubs never made it to a European final but lately (as a country) they are getting in the results and subsequent points.
I would definitely say it's an FC25 thing. As mentioned a few times in this save, Denmark apparently have 6 teams present in the UEFA competitions. I don't think that's very realistic, but perhaps the Danish clubs have just benefitted from the absence of numerous clubs in the game, making room for additional Danish clubs to take their place. Netherlands doesn't seem to have been given the same favour though.
In real life I think it's rare for Danish clubs to do anything worth mentioning in Europe. Except FC København, who have found the formula of being a dominant force domestically whilst also being able to adjust and be a 'tough to beat' underdog in European matches. Other Danish top sides have made it a habit to flop completely in European qualifiers, so even though Brøndby or FC Midtjylland can beat the Copenhagen side in the national tournaments, both are far off when it comes to the adjustment of playing in Europe with less ball possession etc.

What's leading in Danish league: Goal difference, or Head-2-Head?

The best defence VS The best attack in this league.
For the sake of storytelling, such contrast is ideal

Yes indeed. I'm very happy to see the old club win and provide the competition for the new club. And yes, I do enjoy this contrast too.

Another 1,000 coefficient point to the tally of Denmark. The new setup of European tournaments (the new format, but also the introduction of the European Conference League before that) have changed the dynamics a bit.
Once, a team scoring over 20,000 points would be seen as having had a good season, the real stand out seasons would give teams 30 or a bit over. Now, 30,000 is the absolute minimum. PSV bagged 35,500 with a spot in the quarter finals, while my team went out in the preliminary round of 16 in Europea League with only 13,000 points to show. Those reaching a Champions League final could be in the regions of 50,000 coefficient points, now!
Subsequently, a country's score also has to be taken differently: countries doing over 20,000 had a phenomenal season, double digits were considered good. Now, Netherlands scoring ca. 15,000 was underwhelming, disappointing. Denmark however, with a team less (lower dividing factor) and Türkiye did very well in my opening career season, especially given their ranking.
Some people just like to see games, I however follow these statistics with a keen eye.

@Danimal5981I think we understand the rules differently. I'll try to argue my case in the General Discussion forum, so it won't take too much space here.
Edit: Nevermind. I missed the part where additional points were added for every knockout round. That used to be there before, but I couldn't find it in the new rules, when I started a few months ago. But now I searched again and found it, so it seems my current interpretation has been wrong.
