UEFA Champions League

Just noticed the new format

the fuck is going on they trying to make it a super league?

Seems pretty straight forward, but I don’t know if I like this…

Feels like we are missing out on some good games, because the top 8 will play less? 9-24 will have to watch play more games…

Does it make a difference where exactly you finish in the Top 8?
Is there an an actual reason to want to finish 1st in the league phase?

Every team is in one table, but is paired with 8 teams to play once, two from each pot randomly selected. 4 Home games, 4 away games.

Top 8 = Round of 16
9-24th = 2 Legged playoff to reach round of 16.

Biggest flaw is one team could get a much harder fixture list than another team but compete in the same table. For example in this matchweek City played Slovan Bratislava an easy 3 pointer they can dispatch with ease while we were playing an effective 6 pointer game against PSG.

If you finish 1st, you won’t play 2nd until the final

Draw is seeded

jesus I take my prior statement about straightforwardness back, it sounds like a terribly convoluted system

Girona losing to Feyenoord at home lol

Bayern have started very well. German fans making a racket

Offside (I wonder what VAR would’ve said) but that was top save from Emi.

You’d think Bayern were the home team. Villa are nervous

Fucking hell, Villa’s defence got caught sleeping there. Bayern should’ve converted that.

getting sliced. only a matter of time before Kane is on the scoresheet imo

Tuchel needs to be convicted for going trophyless with this Bayern team, he almost did it back to back too.

Kompany is gonna be a top coach

Upamecano…

Upamecano donkey

Didn’t Tuchel start well last season then fell apart.

Crowning Bayern a bit too early chaps.

Great game!

looks like they’re leaving Watkins 1v1 against Upemacano. So far, the aggression is paying off

I’ve never seen Upamecano have a good game in my life.
