Next season, UCL will implement a new format that is very different from what we have known so far. This format will place the 36 participants who qualify into just one group and each team will compete eight times. So this will not be the same as a league match where each team has to compete against each other.
New format for Champions League post-2024: Everything you need to know
But with this rule I think every big club like City or Real Madrid will not face any problems and challenges. It is claimed that a format like this will make the match more competitive and each team will have the same opportunity to qualify for the round of 16. And there will no longer be the hardest group and the easiest group in UCL.
I think it's a great idea that FIFA came up with. since some clubs believe they're cheating them by placing them in a difficult group where they won't succeed. Now that each club will face a different squad, the competition will be severe because no one likes losing. I like this decision, the Champions League will be more interesting, and Real Madrid and Manchester City are the biggest and toughest teams in the world right now, and I don't think they will suffer in the stages except in the round 16 of the Champions League, and Real Madrid has a tough key player in the team, I don't think even Manchester can get opportunities on them this season, However, because Guadiola is still the coach of Manchester City, he may utilize his common sense to cope with Ancelotti. Since he regularly plays against them in the Champions League. Let's just see how the tournament starts, how everyone performs, and who will most likely get the opportunity to win the competition next.
I'd like to tell you some things: Firstly, FIFA has no relationship with UCL because it's under UEFA; Secondly, They were not cheating because the club placement being determined randomly. I think that you were not even knowing how the new format will be burdening not only clubs but its football players as well.
The new format is good for the small clubs because they have greater chances to participate in the UCL, but consequently, thecompetiton is getting even longer, and it was also potentially harming a lot of clubs and players too.
There are only some parties who will be benefits from this new format, UEFA is trying to force football temas to generat as much money as they can through this newformat of UCL.
