Demystifying the New Champions League Format: A Child-Friendly Explanation and Analysis

With the Champions League qualification still going on today, let me explain the new Champions League format to you like a five year old. Unlike before, we have 32 teams who will be placed in a group of eight with four teams in each group. Now we have 36 teams. And then it will be played in a league format, you know. Unlike before, the first and second position will you qualify for the round of 16. But now it will be in a big format. Unlike before, in the group stage, you play only six matches. But now you have to play eight matches. Four home and four away matches. And then at the end of the day, the teams that are placed from first to No. 8 will qualify automatically for the round of 16. Teams that are placed in the ninth to the 24th position will qualify for playoffs and will play against each other. At the end of the day, eight of them will qualify out of the 16. And then the eight will join the other first eight that qualified straight away to the round of 16 and they will play against each other. Then the teams that ended in the 25th to the 36th position will be eliminated. This same format we take place in the Europa League, but then in the Conference League. Despite the fact that there are 36 teams, just like we saw in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. They will only have to play six matches. At the end of the day, in this new format, every match, every goal, every point, every position matters. And then the teams will be placed against equally ranked teams. I don’t know what that means, but I feel like maybe a team like Arsenal, we have to play their mates, you know, in the European competition. Arsenal is quite a small team. And it will be unfair to place Arsenal against teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona. You know, these are teams that have won it a couple of times. Arsenal, we have to face, you know, a similar thing that I’ve not won it before. I’ve won it once at most. You know, I feel like the reason why I still have not won the championship is because they see themselves as teenagers. You know, teenagers don’t take alcohol. You know, you have to be 18 years. I know. Championship is not for the Hennessy. Hennessy are not for small kids. Maybe when they take it, it will do their. So that’s the reason why they are still running away from you winning the Champions League. So they avoid taking anything. If you still don’t understand this new Champions League format, after this explanation that I’ve given to you, place one of your hand on your head and say, oh Lord, I’m a fool, I’m a dummy, have mercy on me. But if you have understood through this, Video the new Champions League format. Send it to your friend who you think is a dummy. Or tag your friend who you think have not understood the new Champions League format and help them understand what it is now.
