Most probably being driven by the Barcawhores and Madrid as they realise their time dominating the competition is all but at an end.

As far as I can see there will be no groups, 8 random matches, and then only 8 qualify for the knock outs.
Totally pointless for Arsenal to ever be in this - I would prefer to just be in the Europa League.
The Europa League and Conference League will probably do likewise. If only there was an alternative. Like the Super League…Gunner Rob wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 2:35 pmNew Champions League just been approved![]()

Indeed. If I think of the wasted hours fans spend wanting to be in it too. I hated the old format- the world's most boring group stage strung out over 3 months with games 5 and 6 usually a waste of every fucker's time with teams like Malmo thrown in a group with Chelsea or Liverpool. One absolutely massive bloated over commercialised yawn from first to last. Can't even be arsed to read up on the new format. As soon as I heard the word "expanded" I knew it would make the thing even longer and even more boringGunner Rob wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 2:35 pmNew Champions League just been approved![]()

10 matches and then you only have to finish in the top 24 to be in with a chance of qualifying for the last 16.SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 7:34 amIndeed.

It's such horseshit. It achieves nothing but putting a big old target right on the kid's back. No one needs to know his private business, particularly in a high profile sport like football where there is not much intelligence or acceptance of anything outside the perceived norm. He will get treated like shit by some of his fellow players and ripped apart by oppo fans / homophobic idiots.
