    With the new group format and a play off round for the best 16 means 3 more gamedays to schedule. The bigger question is how is that all going to fit? Especially nowadays with a more demanding schedule for international football, with the Nations League.
    Í''m a fan of the league format, but if later on it's gonna be a knock-out system that we are used to then the winner would be the team with the biggest team selection. It would probably again Real Madrid, because they have an absurd amount of quality players or else Manchester City.
    This format means more games so more money to the smaller European clubs, but also the Champions League victory would only be more for the giants with the most money.
    The first big group format would be exciting, with the many great fixtures, but I think the knock-out games would probably be weird to experience exciting teams being much more weaker and seeing big teams with different team line-up winning because of strength.

    • @rollercoaster478
      @rollercoaster478 3 месяца назад

      there's definitely a lot of questions, but lets see how it plays out. Either way this is not better for players health and thus its not better for the overall quality of play we will watch, cause overtired players dont make great plays on the field. Injured players even worse :(

    • @justinsm
      @justinsm 3 месяца назад

      Real Madrid/City still clear favorites that's for sure. But, with more matches that'll stop both for their domination. Maybe they'll met straight away in RO16. People would expect them in final but that'll might be predictable. And we hope some underdogs surprised us. Barca, PSG, Juventus.

    Top 8 Advances to Main Event (Last 16)
    Teams that finish 25 To 36 will be out of Europe completely which means they won’t get to join the baby brother comp (Europa League)
    Teams that finish 9 To 24 will also qualify for the knock- Out Stages but they will play in Round One which is one Round before the Last 16 so in effect you could call it the Round Of 32 or even the prelim Round or just the Play-Off Round if you prefer
    Now of the 16 Teams that finish 9 To 24 the 8 winners will advance into the Main Event (Last 16) and now we have our complete Draw regarding the Last 16
    But here is the Golden Question that even I don’t know
    Out of the 16 Teams that finish 9 To 24 what happens to the 8 losing Teams from the Play-Off Round I mean are they out of Europe completely just like all those that came 25 To 36 or can they enter the baby brother comp (Europa League)???
