I think this format is awful, the new format of 5 home games and 5 away games will help Uefa keep the big teams apart till the knockout phase, bet the top ranked sides will get 10 games against the bottom ranked teams. Noticed on their website that the europa league and conference are going to have this new format as well.
All teams playing 4 more matches, so 7 of the premier league teams playing 4 more matches per season. Where will they fit in the fixtures? Will teams have to play u23 teams in the early rounds of the FA cup and League Cup? will they get a bye into later rounds?
This is why they wanted the league reduced to 18 teams.
The 2024/25 edition of the UEFA Champions League will follow a new format. We explain what will change, what will stay the same, what it means for fans and how it impacts UEFA's other club competitions.
