@@jacob4690 That is why I want a 128 team straight KO format. We will still have ultimate trashings (Real MAdrid 15-0 vs minnow in Round of 128) but by the round of 32, the Proper teams will be there. Still 13games for a winner to emerge hence not diluting the credibility of the competition. Eliminate the Europa league and Conference league. If a team gets eliminated early, concentrate on the domestic league.
@jacob4690 im afraid this wont fix anything, the REAL problem with europe is the immense financial gap built up over decades and decades between big clubs and small ones not the format of the tournament.
Because the draw in Quarter-finals/Semi finals are not fair... take example this year.. Barca are trash and they have a chance of winning CLand being in the FINAL because of their draw with PSG and then the winner of Dortmiund/Atletico in Semis.. loll.. While Madird facing City...
i think seeding better at least if you place top 2 an the league you cant play until the final should of been like that an the first place this supposed be a sedding tournament why have a random draw an the first place
This format is clearly better but the problem is the few extra games added. Personally I would make it so each league only has one domestic cup like some already have changed to.
@@limbeboy7 My opinion. For example, last season the smallest gap between 2nd and 3rd in a group was 3 points. And, only 20 out of 32 teams managed to win more than one game out of six.
I like this new format, as a football fan. I’m excited and looking forward to the 8 games with different opponents part. That’s excitement every match day.
It seems one of the advantages is than we will see matches between teams of the highest pot from the beginning; while in the current format it only may happen from the round of 16.
And at the same time, this new format (as the current format) keeps access for champions of modest national leagues to the highest European competition, something the proposed Super League does not do.
The new format does not excite me, expanding to 36 teams just like the world cup is getting expanded to 48 teams, there is just quantity over quality, it's just fixing something that's not broken, especially if they are teams that are not champions of their own leagues, why call it the champions league
Agreed. What's worse is that the teams who finish 1st or 2nd in the group stage will end up playing a side that that is seeded significantly lower than them up until the semi final stage and the top seeds will presumably have their second legs at home for every single round. This seems like a format that heavily favours the sides that finish in the top of the group phase. In this new format, the Group phase might be more exciting but it will definitely take out alot of the excitement from the knockout rounds
No matter how many teams start the tournament, 36 or 48 or 64 or 128, at the end only the best teams will survive and go through the round of 16, quarter final, semi final and final phase, and there will be 1 champion.
@@jonathanfrancis7608In this new format a lower ranked team will have better chance of reaching the knockout rounds. Earlier it was impossible for them to make it to the knockouts. You cannot expect Copenhagen to make to it to knockouts from a group that has Man city, Dortmund, Copenhagen and Marseille. But under this new format, they have a chance.
Yes, it takes out the element of a slip. You are given 8 games to begin with hence the bigger clubs have more games to show their true strength and the weaker clubs have less elements of an upset. It is like basketball format.
Big teams will only play against big teams. Small teams will only play against small team. Small teams have high chance to qualify now that they will play teams similar to their level. For example in order for real madrid to get maximum point they have to win against best 8 teams of the world. So getting maximum points seems difficult for POT 1 teams. Meanwhile now its easier for the smaller clubs to earn points more because they will not have to play the biggest team anymore
This doesn't seem fair to me. So in the initial phase, you have 8 teams to play. 4 home, 4 away. What if you play the tougher teams all away from home. And another in the pot gets them all at home? Extreme example but seems odd. It's imbalanced without an effective home and away tie vs each opponent. Don't like it.
Clear explanation. thank you. . Right now it takes 13 games for a winner to emerge. Im not in favor of having more games but let's see. I know they are trying to cut down the meaningless games which can take place after just 4 games in the group stages. Let's hope seeding is considered important by the teams themselves and they wont be able to selectively or strategically rest/bench their star players along the competition. I'm still hoping for my 128 team straight KO (2 legged) format though --single random drawing at the start...13 games still to determine a winner. I won't probably get this though.
Horrible new format, itll create an elite in football and defacto create a superleague. Cant help but think the bigger clubs had a big say in this. Footballs all about money now these days
I understand how it works, but still somethings to clarify, 1. Can you face teams from your own country? 2. How is the draw played out for the first league?
This looks great at first glance.fixes a lot of the problems. But they should've made it 7 group stage games. 1 game against your own pot, 2 against each other pot. This would've preserved the advantage of being in a higher pot. As it stands, there's no advantage.
Really need to Reduce the premier league to 18 clubs to help with the fixture congestion. Relegate the bottom 3 and Chelsea. Only promote the top 2 teams in the Championship no playoffs this year 😊.
yeah. It's like the NBA...just playing for seedings for most part of the year. That is why I stopped watching basketball 2 decades ago. Strong teams just coasting along the way, just enough to get to the post season. That is like 72 games to determine seeding there..wow...// I would like a 128 team straight KO (2 legged) format. Every game is important. The problem there is on the round of 128 is when Real MAdrid gets drawn against a minnow. That will be like 15-0 thrashing. LOL. But by the time it's Round of 32, Im sure the proper teams will be there.
I'm really disappointed to see this new format of UEFA club competitions: 1.36 teams in main round without proper group stage. You forgot the point where Europa League holders must be seeded in Pot 1. Same goes for the Conference League holders in Pot 1 of Europa League draw. 2.Permadeath rule. Basically, if the team finished on 25th-36th, they will automatically go out without even playing in the Europa League or Conference League knockout phases. 3.Extended schedule. 9 months full with European games. Even January matches are also included, despite, in normal, this is where the domestic cup competitions are usually held. Does it mean too risky if they played European games at extreme cold weather during that month?
The future generations will look back at us as brainwashed sheep. We had the super league ready to go! We should have supported that. Cause at least we know what the super league is about ($). Uefa used the fans to keep their money coming.
Why not pair matches like chess grand swiss tournaments. The first round is drawn and other matches are paired based on performance. Would result in more competitive matches.
2:15 if 24th ranked team beats the 9th ranked team in the knockout playoffs, then who would be their opponent in the round of 16? The 7th ranked team or the 1st ranked team?
Just make it a league for f sake. Lol. You play all 35 teams,. Just for 1 game lol. Like you play home next game you are away. Like that. 😂.. Teams must just increase their squas sizes. That means. Lower ranked teams in the domestic leagues have a chance to win domestic cups like FA cup. It kinda gives more game time to upcoming young talents,. It's draining on the players but come on guys how many promising talents did we lose due to lack of game time.
But don't you think, the more you play, the more you have injuries and fatigue, i understand the money aspect but i don't know it will be difficult for top teams as they have to compete in different competition.
The only thing I truly like, is that we can see teams hold on for dear life to their definitive elimination. It would be nice to see the atypical teams reach the Round of 16.
If UEFA's intention is to increase the number of matches per club, I don't think they should do this via changing the format, but rather via the preliminary round. Let me explain. Firstly, only the champions of the Champions League and Europa League should automatically qualify for the group stage. Let me explain why. Thus, the preliminary phase would have 77 teams. The national champions of the federations ranked from 21 to 55 (the 34 worst) would play in the 1st preliminary phase, and the 17 winners would join the 43 teams already classified for the play-offs to fight for the 30 places in the group stage. That way, everyone would win. The strongest because they play 2 more games, and the weakest because theoretically it is easier to play in the group stage, since in the past there were 4 preliminary stages, and now they would only have 2. Therefore, weaker teams like Sheriff, for For example, they would play the group stage more often, getting bigger prize money from UEFA more often. In the long term, teams from weaker leagues would once again have a real chance of winning the Champions League, just as they had until the beginning of the 90s. I think this proposal is much more productive and democratic than this complex system whose only real objective is profit. in the hands of a few
What is not explained is how the ranking is given? meaning if a team like Chelsea (which this year was left out of european competition was ranked 20th (for example), does it means it will participate anyways?
My question is how group fixture will drown, before there was group drown among 4 team and then their fixture decided, but how it will in next system if all fixture decide by draw well it's will not take too much time for fixture, bcz every match by draw it make sens ??
yes but in reality it’s supposed to be like that uefa can’t really do much about that small teams are supposed so compete an this tournament it’s called ucl
Why change something that already works and still gives us immense excitement! Stop messing with our game

Less is more and more is less. That goes to the greedy people at the UEFA.
What happens if 2 teams finish with exactly the same number of points, the same goals scored, and the same goal difference?
Another VAR ISSUE man
number of away goals scored
then comes teams's head to head in previous UCL games or co-efficient of teams in ucl rankings.
Same thing any other league does when the same thing happens in the standings
there will be a set of crappy determinants for that Im sure.
So no more home and away against 1 team?
Basically they wan famous team vs famous team. They don't want example, Real Madrid vs Copenhagen FC in champions league Semi Final
Trues, who will watch that game besides Real Madrid fans
Uefa mafia
Shouldn't it be 3vs14, 4vs13 & 7v10 and 8v9? :s
Yes it should be
American march madness bracket, europe should take notes
This new format will make new players more easy to break CR7 goal record. Haaland or Mbappe now are contenders.
What a shame that it gives an easy run for big teams
2 teams from each pot , 4 home 4 away , how is it determined which games are home and which are away ?
This is actually good
this is everything wrong with the sport
