Absolutely, I totally understand that with time — as the UCL competition starts and progresses that myself and other people that find more clarity around the new format and other minor details are still vague. I don't think they would be new rules to the competition for a while after these recent changes so there'd be an ample amount of time to understand and experience the UCL under this new format. I have my fingers crossed that it will actually be a banger.

It's struggling to fully understand a new format of Champions League but with whatever format, strongest and biggest clubs will go through better than small clubs. When Champions League 2024 - 2025 season goes to its knock out phase, we will see it as normal and familiar as previous years.

The next season will be so interesting when Real Madrid already got Mbappe and increase their attacking power a lot. The number 9 given to Mbappe reminds me about Cristiano Ronaldo many years ago. He got number 9 for one or two seasons before Raúl González left and moved to Schalke 04.

Mbappe will play in the centre of Real Madrid attacking system next season with Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Endrick at two swings to support the French player. It is not favorite place of Mbappe and it reduces his danger from counter attacks with good speed too. Let's see how Mbappe will adapt to that position in a next season. He sometimes plays at this position in PSG and France teams but the next season will be a first season, he will mainly stick to that position.
