Champions league 2020/21

I think it's a shit idea too, but then again I can't really see myself still being interested in football by 2024 the way things are going.

Proposed format change to Champions League from 2024 to appease the so called Super League teams:

How would new structure look?

One league, comprising 32 teams.
Each team plays 10 matches against opponents assigned after seeds.
After 10 games, the top 8 teams qualify for the last 16, the bottom 8 teams are out.
Places 9-24 playoff in matches - 9 vs 24, 10 vs 23, 11 vs 22 etc - with the eight winners entering the last 16.
Last 16 onwards is knockout in the same manner as it currently stands

Seems fine tbh. The outcome's basically the same and if it keeps talk of a Super League quiet for another decade then it has fulfilled its purpose.

Claudius

Some of the games will be on weekends as well. 🙂

Joao Felix is my favorite player to watch these days. Shame he's at such a boring club. Plays with so much swag and invention.

Only cost a Pepe + Xhaka too.

Claudius

You’re right. Atletico are far from fully exploiting him. Playing a half interested Bayern side, I can’t believe they took their foot off the gas. He’s easily the top player in La Liga right now. Always looks so much better than everyone else.

I feel like this has been a general sentiment for a decade now

We'll still say it in 2068 when it's just FIFA gamers controlling their robots.

It will be tragic well before then. Uefa keeps showing that it just cares about making more money, doesn’t value player welfare or match-going fans. Expect decisions to keep going in that direction

Irfan Kahvehci with an unbelievable hattrick to draw level against RBL. 3-3

Claudius

Wow. Kahveci with an incredible hat trick. That last free kick was superb. You can see why Sevilla wanted him last summer

Claudius

This is blowing the group wide open. PSG better not stuff up

Claudius

Wow. 4-3. What a match

Unbelievable decision. Fred headbutts Paredes and ref gives a yellow card after seeing the monitor

goon

It wasn't really a headbutt, they were already head to head. Didn't know they could show a yellow based on VAR>?

QuincyAbeyie

I didn't know that either. Don't think Pepe's was any worse than this one though.

goon

Wtf, now Fred stands on Paredes' boot and the latter is the one that get booked 😆

The commentator was so confident he's going to be off. Absolute shocked when the victim got booked.

And VAR don't inform the ref its a clear and obvious error

goon

I don't think they can because it's only a yellow card offence. That's still true if the player is already on a yellow, right?

QuincyAbeyie

Yeah, think so.
