Format details

Taking the total number of teams from 32 to 36 in the UEFA Champions League, the biggest change will see a transformation from the traditional group stage to a single league stage including all participating teams. Every club will now be guaranteed a minimum of 10 league stage games against 10 different opponents (five home games, five away) rather than the previous six matches against three teams, played on a home and away basis.

The top eight sides in the league will qualify automatically for the knockout stage, while the teams finishing in ninth to 24th place will compete in a two-legged play-off to secure their path to the last 16 of the competition.

All this bullshyt and extra games (not including qualifying) just to have Madrid, Bayern, Chelsea, Barca, City, PSG, and the like in the final 4 every year.

at least they will have somewhat earned it rather than be "guaranteed" ... the UEFA format is far from perfect but also much better. Lesser of two evils here..

It’s still amazing how people can stop a bunch of teams from pulling out of a Union..but they were all for a whole country pulling out of a union. The second one, have/had a way harsher ramifications than the first one lmao. But they still celebrating right now :russ:

Why are people so stupid sometimes? :dwillhuh:

False equivalence, breh. Football ain't politics.

What’s British football without its casual xenophobia under the veneer of ‘patriotism’? :mjlol::francis:

It's true in this case though, the American owners copped the most heat from the fans and the biggest grievance fans had was the Americanisation of football. It's different to when Souness accused "Latin types" of being divers etc.

Fair play to him. I very much doubt the Glazers have the stones to do this.

However, I still think its more Chelsea/City accepting UEFA's offer that brought this whole thing crumbling down. :manny: They didnt need the Super League.

Yeah I agree, if City/ Chelsea didn't leave first, none of the other 4 would have left.

It also sounds like they have no intention of selling and leaving which I think every Liverpool fan wants now.

I think that was just a damage limitation pr exercise to try and get fans back on their side
