New Champions League format 2024/25

[garygooner]

What do you think about the new format?

36 team league table. 

Even more games.

Who are your favourites to lift the trophy? 

Usual suspects:  Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern, Man City.

The new format is intended to stop the bigger clubs breaking away to form a rival competition, so presumably those clubs are in favour. The players not so much and talk of strike action. Are the players worried about playing too much or do they want their share of what is now a bigger pie?

Bayern scoring 9 in their first match suggests the new format is not so competitive in some cases.

My interest will likely kick in at the knockout stage.

Champions League games 2 here we go.

Arsenal vs PSG tonight.  Big match.

That's 16th hosting 15th in the new huge league format.

Celtic on the wrong end of a Dortmund tonking.

Brest are holding up well, 2 wins out of 2. A surprise package?

Always strange looking at the huge, new league table. 

Villa starting well. 

Barca & Real Madrid mid-table. 

Milan near the bottom.  

Early days.
