Explaining the Format Changes and Draw for the Upcoming Champions League Season

The new champions are just around the corner. and if you are a little lost with the format change and you don’t know what the draw will be like, don’t worry, stay and I’ll explain. You know that this year the champions expand and goes from 32 to 36 teams. The first phase also changes. Don’t say goodbye to the famous groups of 4 and now the 36 teams will be placed in a single standings. That doesn’t mean they have to play all against all, much less. Each team will, in fact, play a total of 8 games, 4 at home and 4 away, and will not repeat an opponent. That is to say, it’s over in your house and in mine. I’m interested in that, huh? At the end of these 8 rounds, the top 8 finishers will advance straight to the round of 16 and those between 9th and 24th place will play a playoff to qualify for those boys. We were ripped off. From there, pure elimination rounds to reach the final, which this year is in munich. Another novelty, the teams of the 25 to 36 are eliminated and will no longer play in europe this year, that is, that’s the end of what happened to sevilla of being eliminated in the champions and ending up winning europe League. That is already impossible, No, brother. We just keep a silly face. So what are we going to see in the draw? Well, it’s very simple, we will know the calendar of all participants. The teams will be divided according to their European coefficient into 4 cylinders. Those of the bass drum one are the strongest and those of 4 the weakest. Team balls will be drawn 1 to 1 in the bass drum one and uefa software will raffle in real time its 8 rivals, 2 of the bass drum one, 2 of the bomb 2, 2 of bass drum 3 and 2 of bass drum 4, and the computer will have work to do since you will need to apply in real time logical restrictions. No team may play anyone in its league and at most, will play against 2 opponents from the same country. The uefa, as you can see, seeks variety, is it clear? I hope so. The draw is on Thursday, August 29. This new group phase kicks off on September 17 and the final will be played on May 31. Good luck to all!
