I can't fully evaluate the new format of the Champions League yet, but my first impression is that I don't really like how everything is going. It's unusual to see one leader in the table, while before we had many groups and each had its own leader, this is what created the impression that many leaders of their countries were playing in this tournament, but now everything has been compressed into one table and this is losing its scale for the Champions League, that's my opinion for now.

Actually, it doesn't matter if we only see one leader of the standings like we see the domestic league standings because even in the group phase, only one club will win the league and that is the best club from the many contestants, but did you know that with this new format we feel that the match feels balanced because strong clubs not only face weak clubs but also face several elite clubs so that the competition feels tense while what we saw before in the group phase, a strong club will lead the group because it has an unequal opponent.

It's not something to worry about when the big teams are not yet at the top of the Champions League standings this season. With the change in the League format to be different, all teams have the opportunity to win the League, so it's very different from last season where the big teams were candidates for champions while the weak teams were eliminated.
I really support this season's format, all teams can compete against strong teams and weak teams, which will make the matches more tense so they can get through the play-off round.

It is not possible for the big teams to be at the top of the Champions League every season, but we have seen this season that the teams that were not in good form last season are doing well now. The points table of the Champions League has changed a lot compared to last season, especially the weaker teams are listed to become champions. Not all strong teams can compete with weak teams. Many times this season, we have seen strong teams competing with weak teams. Each team will play with their strong performance to qualify for the play-off round, and this season will be even more exciting in the Champions League. Those who were at the highest level to become champions last season are not playing that well this season in the UCL, that is why every team will have an exciting fight for the next round.
