    UEFA's answer to the European "Super League"?

    It's probably easier to post a link than explain it!

    I'm going to reserve judgment on this one. Let's see how it works out.
    It's not as if the first stage of the CL in the current format is this >unforgettable spectacle.

    I like UEfA comps as is.

    current format is this unforgettable spectacle.

    That should be the bonus of the revamp. You can/will have two
    'big' teams meet early on. Which should - in theory - make the
    Champions League more watchable from GW1... but because of the
    format, the 'big' clubs should still progress to the next phase.

    The computer match-ups will probably give the conspiracy
    theorists something to talk about too...

    Super League? No thank you!

    Fortunately, most big European clubs also say "no thanks" to
    that! But this is UEFA's version... so we'll see how the new
    format works out in a few months.

     I like this. Being a chess player, I'm used to the Swiss
    system, and it tends to generate meaningful matchups in all
    rounds.

    Hmmm... except that I've checked it closely and it won't be
    exactly a Swiss system... Well, let's give it a chance.

    No, not a Swiss-system tournament, it's a little bit more
    complex than that... nobody plays everybody in the 32 team
    league, just eight different 'selected' opponents.

    But yes, we'll have to see how it goes...

    I believe an actual Swiss system wouldn‘t have been feasible since the logistics surrounding top European football need a bit more time to know
    your next opponent.


    Well, let's give it a chance.

    Yeah, I’m curious how it will shake out.


    Ciao,

     Tchau!

    Blueshirt predicts under the new format the UEFA Champions
    League Quarter Finals next season will contain, Real Madrid /
    PSG / Man City / Bayern Munich / Barcelona / Inter-Milan ... + 2
