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.

The goals that UEFA wants to achieve seem to be starting to come true, the new format provides the best for clubs, players and fans. The competition in the League phase is more interesting, takes place at a high intensity, and of course full of surprises. Although we cannot ignore the fact that most managers do not like the new format, because of the increase in the number of matches that must be played. But for fans, this season Champions League is very interesting, the competition is more balanced and full of surprises. Teams that are regular favorites even have difficulty occupying first place, and the majority of teams that are currently in the top 8 of the standings are teams that were previously less considered.
