Also, several teams from the Champions League will qualify for the Europa League.
Under the new format of UEFA champions league and europa league, no team from the champions league will qualify for the europa league and all teams that won't advance to the round of 16 will be eliminated.
This is going to be a tough competition from onset. This new format will make all clubs to be serious during their first matches they’ll be playing against each other like a league type. No team will give up and they’ll try as much as possible to gather enough points that’ll make them finish in the top table amongst other teams that’ll be qualifying to the next round of the competition. It doesn’t matter how many matches you’re losing in your group, just make sure you finish in a position worthy of been promoted to the next round of the Champions league as there are now second chance in the Europa League like before. I now wonder how Europa League will also be played next season. The champions league is well understood and I can’t wait for the competition to begin next season because of the competitiveness we will be witnessing there.
The UCL League and Europa League next season will indeed be very interesting, especially with the new format, of course this will be a burden for all teams because the schedule is too busy so that it requires smart coaches to rotate players. With the new format like now, it is the same as torture for players because they have to play in the domestic league, plus the Champions League or Europe with a domestic league model without a group phase, if the coach is not smart in rotating players, then the team players will experience a storm of injuries.
However, I am sure that with a new format like this there will be many surprises this season because it is the first time they have implemented a format like this. But what is certain is that the Europa League is no less interesting than the UCL League, which will both create surprises for small teams because this format benefits teams that do not have a busy schedule.
