I think this new format will allow us to enjoy the Champions League match schedule a little longer because until now we have not entered the round of 16 and are still waiting for 2 more matches and are still following the play-off round to see who qualifies and this match break is also quite long even though it is already mid-season, this season's competition in the UCL does look very tight even Real Madrid and Man City are in a less safe position and if they face each other in the play-off round later I think we will not see one of them in the round of 16.
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.
With the new format, all clubs are warned about the condition of the players, because it will result in many players experiencing injuries, this can be a big loss for clubs competing in the Champions League, it may look interesting but if you look at this, there will be more match schedules and make players tired, a system like this is what all clubs must avoid and not only think about money but the health of the players is much more important, that is the ugliness of UEFA in organizing the Champions League with an unreasonable system.
