uefa its not against super league. its against a super league not being organized by uefa so they can still have money.

3:27 is the biggest mistake from UEFA. From 9th to 24th they should play a single match in the stadium of the best ranked. The same for the Europa League and Conference League. Whoever loses that round of Champions will face whoever wins it in the Europa League between 9 and 24, and they would play in the stadium of the Europa League team to qualify for the Round of 16 of said competition. This would not affect the already established calendar so it could be done without problems. That would be more beautiful, exciting and would also make the Europa League and the Conference League more competitive, since with this Uefa change both competitions lose a lot of level.

I like this idea - something similar to what I was thinking. I was surprised to hear so many people criticize the current relegation from UCL to UEL after the group stage. I think any club would like the opportunity to continue in a cup tournament after December, instead like this, if you lose your playoffs, that's it, your season's over. But I like even more the idea of the chance of being promoted if the UEL team beats the UCL loser. But of course UEFA is too thick headed to even take it into consideration. Too bad..

The end goal here will be a Brazil style championship. Just wait for it. There will be a European A,B,C,D league like in Brazil and it will be played after a domestic season which is treated like the Brazilian state championships. The clubs involved and even smaller clubs wont turn down the billions of dollars

Bring on the super league. UEFA had one job and messed up.

Great video explanation but I think you made a mistake. There will be 4 pots of 9 teams (ranked by their co-efficient) and each team plays 2 from each pot. You said they play home and away. That would be 16 games. I believe it's just 8 single matches but not sure how they decide who is home and away. My guess is that you play one home and one away from each pot.

@jamesvass737

Yes, you're correct, one home and one away game against both opponents drawn to play you from the same pot.

Basically teams can give zero f because finishing 24th will still give you a chance to win...talking about getting rewards as a looser lol whole structure is created for big teams while two slots will be given to looser teams from main leagues.Pathetic...and uefa talking that they care about small guys lol...this is worse than superleague at this point.

Thanks for explaining it! But I don't think it matters what we think, as if they care haha

To me this fudged (and that's what it is of course) reworking of the UCL tournament always looked as though it was an overly complex solution to a relatively simple problem; how to placate the (financially driven) demands of the super clubs (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, AC Milano, Internazionale, Bayern Munchen, Man City etc.) whilst NOT appearing to do exactly that, ie. maintaining even a vague impression of it being a solely merit based sporting competition? My idea to solve this conundrum, which I'd already worked out back in the 1990s, was to have one more pre-qualifying round (before the league groups stage), resulting in a smaller number of qualifiers making up the final number of 32 teams contesting the group stages but then instead of having 8 groups of 4 teams, change this to 4 groups of 8 teams, with only the top team from each of these four groups advancing to the finals, which would be organised on a festival tournament basis, ie. two semi-finals, a 3rd/4th play-off for the semi-final losers and a grand final, all held in the same city over a six day period. If you work out how many games this would give the 32 teams qualifying for the league stages, in comparison to the current scenario, it's not that different. A team going all the way to the final festival tournament week would have to play 14 league games, plus two games in the final six day festival tournament, so 16 in total. Under the current (up to end of 23-24 season) set-up, a team progressing all the way to the final plays 6 league stage games, plus 6 knock-out games and then a final, so 13 games in total. In my idea for a revamped UCL competition, the so called super clubs are all guaranteed more games overall (a minimum of 14 league fixtures) and many of those games will be competitive against similarly strong clubs (each league of 8 teams would likely contain at least 3 or 4 capable of finishing top and qualification for the final tournament), not just teams making up the numbers from the much smaller less competitive domestic leagues; this outcome resulting from the extra pre-qualification round mentioned earlier. The four game final festival tournament outlined could be a real showcase event for UEFA to broadcast globally. There would of course have to be some reward for the team winning the third/fourth play -off game in order to incentivise them and make it a sporting spectacle rather than simply a consolation prize. My idea for a UCL revamp seems much simpler (to me at least) whilst still providing many of the numerous and complex goals required?

It’s all about the money

Its name is “Champions” league, when you include 5th or even 6th of a league in the competition by pushing out “champions” of some European leagues it disrespects what the tournament stand for and its philosophy.

04:31 incorrect if a team who won the europa finished outside the top 4 it does NOT replace 4th spot just look at Sevilla

People will be against this and UEFA will be forced to drop the idea. If anything they should have all the cup competitions at 32 clubs in the group stage.

What does that mean for leagues outside of the top 5? Don’t they deserve a champions league spot? Just by qualifying is a lot of money for these small teams.

If a club in Poland, Croatia, Greece, Belgium, Turkey, Finland, etc. wins their domestic league, declaring themselves as the best team in their country, don’t they deserve a champions league qualification? Just by qualifying, how much money do they get? That’s a lot of money for those small teams. Why don’t they do that? Like the original format when it’s 1 club per country qualifying.

This ensures only big teams with money will have a chance

What is the difference? The same story as before, only with a new competition format. The rule of 4 preliminary rounds of qualifications remains, and the group competition is pushed under one league. More games? Maybe. We'll see.

How are the opponents for the 8 games in the league chosen? You could get 8 'lesser teams' and therefore not play any big team theoretically?

Just ruin everything to make more money. What fans did they listen too?

European football ⚽️ is destroyed. Champions League should only be played by the Champions of each country in a CL format but only for Champions. What’s this Conference Mickey Mouse league all about ? Couldn’t UEFA rescue the old beautiful cup winners cup and renamed Conference League??? Conference league !!! What an horrible trophy :( And the Europa league should stay as it is to avoid more damage to the competition… Overall many of us I guess MISS THE 70/80 and 90’s when football ⚽️ was proper, beautiful and fair.

Well done ... Ruining a simple format

All uefa want is money

For me, it is more realistic if the league will be split into 2 regional leagues. For example, teams from Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Serbia, and Greece will play in the southern league, whereas teams from England, Germany, Scotland, Poland, Ukraine, and Norway will play in the Northern League. The top 8 teams from each league will qualify automatically for the knockout stages, the next 4 will be relegated, and the bottom 6 will be eliminated.
