Champions League Draw: Explained – New Computerized Format and Rules

on Thursday is the Champions League Draw and I will show you now how the new format works at all. the draw takes place with a computer system hm So no more using these balls by hand. Let’s take Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich will face 2 teams in pot 123 and 4 play. we just say Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. They can’t play against Leverkusen because it’s the Bundesliga. so we take Atletico and Atalanta and feynord Sporting and midtland and Sparta Prague. There will be no more home and away games. so Bayern Munich could play against Paris away, but no longer in Munich. play against Paris generally 4 home games and 4 away games. All these teams then form a top 8 which automatically advances to the round of 16. but we’ll come back to that again 9th place up to 24 plays 1 playoff 9th place out of 2 pots up to 16 in pot 1 and 17 to 24 in pot 2. that means Leipzig could not play against Paris play against each other. the rest down there falls away and will not make it to the Europa League either. There will also be no more draws until the final. everything is agreed in advance and especially that place 1 and place 2 can only meet again in the final. that’s extra. so always place 135 and 7 on a page and always place 246 and 8 on the other hand.
