The only good thing I've seen about this new UCL format so far is the fact that you can even get to see an early UCL final clash at this league phase. Liverpool will be playing some of the best teams in the champions league this season and majority of this would be in the league phase if at all they don't go on to qualify for the knockout rounds. Even that itself is a negative because smaller teams are stacked up against each other while the big teams face off to eliminate each other. It might be the case that we would have majority of the biggest teams out of the tournament before knockout stages.

The synergy between mbappe and vinicius is another thing that Ancelotti is yet to completely tackle a s fix and now he's got piles of injuries to handle, putting all together, he's got a whole lot to handle which is why most persons are already panicking about their champions league performance because I know that as human that he is, it's enough to put some pressure on him so he  may get some hitches on the way trying to get all of this fixed.  Talking about time, he needs some time to get things back afloat and he's got the time as currently he's got from now till almost mid season a d for champions league there's still few weeks ahead to kick off, I'm trusting him and aswell keeping a good level of optimism for Madrid.
