Please keep the old phases
This z beautiful.. this might turn out to be the best Champions League eva
Ibr Im still confused
Too bad the country protection is no longer in place from R16 itself from now on. Which means that at a very early stage we could see good teams from the same country knocking each other out. Hence, the times of "total PL dominance or total La Liga dominance" in the UCL might become a very rare occasion
Looks like its better to finish 8th place than 1st, they're getting further behind finishing opponents (23rd or 24th) rather than table toppers who will get 17th/18th place finishers
I know this guy
You guys should copy the general format and apply on Nations League, it's much better
Looks like the same format as the super league
Jesus loves you all,May God bless you
Interesting
Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for this format, but while the league phase was going on, I found it quite interesting. All the teams are playing something until the last day. In the group stage format, many teams arrived with first place assured and had nothing at stake.
Is too confusing
YOU BASTARDS WILL RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS FORMAT! AFTER THE NEW FORMAT, NO ONE IS FIGHTING FOR POINTS
ALREADY! These competitons were boring, except for some matches, well, we need more competiton like 5 matchdays and it's already fucking december, isn't that too late
Knockout phase of the playoffs
This is actually better than
Global Warming indeed
Present 5 Hours
Please add that you can go from the Champions league to the Europa league again 😢
Before it started I heard a rumour that the UCL Semis and Final would be played in a centralized location in a Final Four format… I got so hyped for that
I think it should just be top 16 qualify instead of the 9-24 playoff but I will let it play out for now before rioting
I am so happy that the country protection thing is gone. It was really stupid in the first place.
Hmmm i hope Red Star Belgrade get that 24th place. We need another legendary 90s club like Aston Villa. But they had really hard first part, we will see. There is always next years though.
wair we're no longer randomizing the quarter final and semi final round? that sucks but make sense if we're trying to look for the best team in the tournament.
No more country protection, there won’t be any PL or La Liga dominance. Clubs form thesame country would be able to eliminate each other very early wow
Once the bracket filled after playoff … everything is fixed and no more drawing suspense like those previous competitions
Nice and the losers of the lesgue dont even get to drop to the competition below.
I love the new league phase. But 8 matchdays is too much. The conference league is only 6 matchdays. Hopefully UCL and UEL later will also 6 matchdays too. The new knockout stage is fair, although no country protection anymore.
