There will be a format change to the UEFA Champions League.
A single league of 36 teams will replace the old format of having eight groups of four, with each side playing eight matches during the new group stage. Four at home and four away.
Following the group stage, all teams will then be formatted into a table with the top eight sides automatically qualifying for the round of 16 while clubs finishing between ninth and 24th will have to enter a play-off phrase for the eight remaining places.Once that process is done, the Champions League will proceed as normal with a two-legged round of 16, quarter-final and semi-final before the eventual final.: “The new format requires a new draw concept.
“The software will guarantee total randomness within the framework of the draw conditions stipulated by the regulations , while guaranteeing that the draw can be completed for all teams without resulting at any point in a deadlock situation.”What Man Utd offered Chido Obi-Martin to join from Arsenal as Fabrizio Romano drops bombshell
