I know people be asking why not top 16 teams but that will have a problem..for instance psg played really tough matches.also teams in the league phase dont play all the teams..so it will feel quite unbalnced..also the points difference goes pretty much into goal difference..taking that into consideration..9th spot and 15 spot may probably be on same points..i feel the playoff is just about fair to get that separation.
New format is great, but there's really only four elimination games you need to follow to see who gets knocked out completely: Stuttgart-PSG, Sporting, Benfica and Man City.
@stewartsmith5816 there is literally a rd of 32 where even the likes of a Madrid could get knocked out if they have to face a tough team. New format is exciting. It just helps the big teams atleast get to the knockout stage. They bring all the money to the competition so they will never design a format which will knockout 3 or 4 biggies at the league stage itself.
@chandrashekharkumar3265 Yeah, sorry. I love the format. When I was referring to the number of games, it was just that they should have highlighted those games in particular rather than all 18 matches. After all, they don't do that with Week 18 in the NFL.
I dont know why people are tripping. These are perfectly reasonable predictions. A team like liverpool is gonna field nobody today. Theyre gonna be first
4 groups of 9 teams would've been better, they could've played each other once, with top 2 in each group going into knock outs, other 4 in play offs and bottom 3 in each group going out, instead of one huge table of 36.
I think it feels convoluted because we've never seen it in action. I hated the concept of the league stage to start, but after seeing it work out I really like it now.
Dreadful format, either change it to the same setting as the UEFA conference with 6 group games or bring back the old format it’s taking a life time to get the interesting knock out stage and there’s the play offs to come yet zzzz 😴💤🥱
Why? It’s up to ten games simply to get to the knockout stage. Maybe you’ll feel different when it’s the final and you see the long watered down journey the teams took to get there
@@costa7908 it’s because this really feels like a campaign for each team. It gives each team a fighting chance as well. I suppose I’ll have to wait till the end to see how everything turns out

Real Madrid are already in France to face Stade Brestois 29 on Wednesday, in a match in which the Merengues must take the three points.
Real Madrid attack with Mbappe and Vini will squeeze Brest from both sides.

Those games have immediate knock out implications but all have impact on the bracket going all the way into the round of 16.

It’s not left to right, it’s up and down fixtures for the knockouts, 11 v 19 etc
Also why are they shocked at Celtic, they’ve already qualified…
Love at the desk got gyat
The guy is such a pos, not letting the women predict
they hit some of these dead on
Can Sporting CP play Man City in the UCL Playoff even though they play each other in the first round?
Yes
Yes, there is also no country protection anymore. Anyone can theoretically play anyone right away in the knockouts
remove 2 teams from UCL and UEL and keep 36 for UECL. too many games...
this is horrible content.
if every game kicks off at 3pm then you only need to be on the couch for 90 minutes + added time ;)
Americans😂
All the graphics and resources they have and they still couldn't explain it.
What's the name of the anchor?
Why are there two draws? In a few hours, we will have all the information needed to rank everyone. Lowest plays highest and so on. The end
All the games start at the same time but you'll need a few hours? Its only 90mins
I dont know why people are tripping. These are perfectly reasonable predictions. A team like liverpool is gonna field nobody today. Theyre gonna be first
Terrible that you put the score board on the screen.
I can’t stand this confusing format
Absolutely terrible
Please change it back next season
Benfica, Paris saint German start off halla Luya
Up up Citeh!
Juve Benfica will be anything but low scoring🤣🤣

Who actually likes the new format?
The previous champions was already very accessible now it’s just convoluted
They should take it back to the old original format when it was only League Champions eligible. Hence the name 'Champions' League
New system champions league it s much better
I think the format is fine, I just don’t understand stand why the knockouts isn’t just 1v16

I like brest
As an Arsenal fan, I know we're getting Real Madrid this time😢😢😢😅😅😅😅
HOW did these clowns get a job??😂😂😂

I disagree as well, it’s been a lot more fun than the group stages.
