This is the group stage.. they’ll all be placed in a single table Every team plays 8 matches (4 home, 4 away).. no second legs 1-8 qualify automatically to the Ro16 9-24 go to the play offs, where 8 teams qualify to join the already-qualified 8 teams (to make 16 teams) 25-36 are eliminated The 16 qualified teams then use the old format, from the ro16 to the finals Hope this is simpler?

[@YahyeMustapha54]

thanks

[@Kojo_995]

Thanks men now i understand nice explanation

[@peshfra6026]

How about the losers of the play offs(the9-24)?

[@Ondago24]

Risk with the format is that luck plays an even more significant role in determining which teams qualify. Since all teams don't play against each other as it is in premier leagues, it boils down to how lucky you are with teams drawn. This becomes even more critical considering the significance of GD in separating teams that tie on points. I foresee criticism on it's fareness towards some teams

[@ashfaqsheikh3134]

Yeah as a Man City fan 😃🥶. Idk why everyone is mad lol 😂

[@Hello-wy2px]

Because it seems unfair to some people. Aside from the obviously easy rigging factor, what’s the point in being in pot 1 or in any pot for that matter if it doesn’t mean anything? Last season is in other news completely meaningless now, as well, when you’re just gonna get difficult opponents from self selected coefficients anyway. Not to mention that some teams get to play other teams at home while others have to play them away. The whole system is just dumb

[@Daveanoncomedy]

This new format will definitely open up the domestic leagues with more high-pressure games throughout the campaign instead of the last 16 phase and onwards. And more games a season than ever before. Any team hoping for a treble or quadruple in their own league will be non-existent with this format and extra games. There are some juicy games in there, which has improved the last set up where you had one group of death and the rest strolling through to the last 16
