Champions League

[Windhook]

Yeah. Ceferin threatened the rest of the clubs if they do not step back from this ESL idea the next few days.

Dead league, lock thread

Hahahahahaha. Good one.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Back to this years CL for a second. Guess this means PSG will get the favourable decisions. Easy money on them.

Yes. My thoughts exactly.

Its just an empty tthreat. UEFA can't do that. There's too much money at stake.

That money at stake now is gone. Big clubs already left the ship. UEFA are free to do whatever they want with G-12 clubs.

No it isnt and no one is being forced to do anything.

The idea that it is all just Perez dream and rest are blindly following him is not even close to reality.

Barely anyone even now is saying it is 'Perez project'. It is all about the clubs that have signed up.

Not forced but they're following a plan that he was one of the original creators for. And if you read a little about it, it's him who's one of the biggest spokespeople for it right now.

The proposed format is an abomination Fuck that.

Super league is much cleaner, has to be said.

Indeed, new CL format is terrible

"UEFA has prepared the new format of UCL for 2024. In 2024, football will be dead."

"Champions League is attractive only from the quarterfinals. Nobody cares about the games before."

"There are some matches I can't stand to watch."

Just realized that 24 of 36 teams will advance from the CL group stage in 2024

Will they?
I thought it was top8 have guaranteed 1/8 spot, the following 16 play 1/16 to determine the opponents for top8.

He is right

 

[Vilarrubi]

Should have top 6 in PL and La Liga make CL. Rather have a team like Everton or Villarreal than Krasnodar or Ferencvaros. Definitely not more teams though.

Which amounts to 24 of 36 teams in the knockouts ;-) With 8 teams having an advantage. But I just dont see how the group stage will be exciting this way.

So what are you saying here? It's actually not about competition and inclusion, but more like trying to add some semi-decent clubs who don't really have a chance anyway?

Are you an UEFA employee by any chance? Because that's the fucked up logic that got us in this situation. Placing small/medium teams in the same basket as the behemoths so that it looks like a competition.

The groups should be called the 'UEFA Circus' as its just that for the small teams. The circus comes to your team's town and performs some tricks, beating you sensles in the process. Your team gets 5 dollars, the other team gets 100 and everyone is happy. Football is saved!
