The new Champions League format

[Cooperman]

Right but not with 36 teams!

20 in the EPL and at most 4 in the world cup

I don’t get what point your making.

The reason for simultaneous matches is to eliminate results of convenience. This applies in leagues of 4, 20, 36 or however many.

 

[Cooperman]

Absolutely loving this new format bhoys

That +4 GD could be vital.

That +4 GD could be vital.

Absolutely, can't see Celtic picking much up on the road but pretty confident of at least another 6pts at Parkhead

All im saying is that 36 teams all playing at the same time in one single table, is going to be anarchy.

 

[Cooperman]

This is all shaping up nicely. Brest two from two, AC Milan languishing towards the bottom with nothing from two, Villa beating Bayern at home, and some big teams scrapping in mid table.

 

[Cooperman]

Hell of an end to the Villa game. Bayern did everything but stick it in the net.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Great to see Athletico Madrid getting pumped too

Not many here will care, but what a night for TNS tmrw. Against a top Italian side over there.
Good luck to em.

Totally disinterested in this Champions League nonsense. All games befor the new year are pointless money making nonsense.
Bring back The European Cup where 32 Champions from 32 Leagues competed on a knock out to be true European Champions

Villa fans walking on cloud nine along with Lille fans after their results during the week.

Let's not forget our away trip to Valencia (different competitions I know).

Without these formats these memories would never get created.

What about the league winners from the other twenty odd nations of Europe?

May as well take it off the TV as well. Just show the final.

Only the highlights

 

[Cooperman]

Job done by Celtic

Much to play for in match week eight. I don’t think the old eight group format would have generated so many meaningful games in the last week. Man City need a win or go home.

I haven’t watched Match of the Day or Premier League football since relegation and don’t watch the Champions League as don’t have Sky.
I really enjoyed the highlight show on BBC last night. I’d forgotten what attacking football looked like.
