The only people that want to see “Big teams face off” more often are either casuals or younger fans. If we get the matchups between the “Big teams” more often it takes away from the special feeling the match ups bring.

Personally I enjoy upsets, Ajax (more of a historic team than “big”) 2019 was a beautiful run, with many upsets. It started in group stages being undefeated and eliminating Benfica and beating Bayern in one game & trying the other. Then the knockout round was so memorable.

Watching the “Big clubs” get knockout early or get upset can still happen in this format, not saying it can’t, but adding 2 games and potentially 2 more for the teams not in the top 8 is not it.

Especially with World Cup qualifiers, Club World Cup next summer, and expanded World Cup. More injuries are bound to happen. Fans complained about the Euro’s how France & England played unattractive football, we will see that more often.

It's gonna end up being stupid because more injuries on top of things

[StillMossi]

I kinda like the idea bc it give chances for smaller teams and will make it a lil bit harder but considering the injury crisis liverpool had last season as a liverpool fan we gonna be starting our reserves 😂 at this point

[Bats-]

I like this new format it’s going to make the group phase more competitive, it eliminates the dead rubber group games, the top 16 get rewarded skipping the play off round & no more teams dropping into different competitions, if your out your out like it should be 👍

[lifetechniques]

That means Messi's and Ronaldo's records will be pretty easy to be broken

[alexgallion]

The group system worked well it lead to possible upsets and created drama with this I feel it is just greed by UEFA due to the increased amount of games if it ain’t broke don’t fix it is my opinion on this Also more games can lead to a lot more injuries

[Xenix]

It maybe be better than the group stage, but I still don’t like it. They should bring back the old European cup format. Which made only the champions play. No 4th place nonsense. That format is how we got some of the best stories in football. UEFA disgusts me.

[miawuwu]

one thing for sure: sevilla cannot win europa league straight out of champions league anymore.

[sambenyamin]

Great videos man. I was so surprised when i saw you only had 115 subs. 116 now!

[Lonestarr]

Actually, teams from the same country can not face each other in the league phase, but can face off in any knockout round.

[AtomLabX]

The healthiest take on this thus far!


Great work

5:57 that's actually incorrect.

According to the official UEFA website, it won't be "9th vs 24th, 10th vs 23rd, ...", instead the pairs will be drawin with teams 9-16 being in one pot (UEFA calls those teams the "seeded" teams), teams 17-24 in another (those are the "unseeded" teams), with teams 9-16 additionally securing homeground advantage in the return leg.

Then, the teams that advance from the playoff round are all in one pot for the round of 16 draw, teams that took places 1-8 in the league phase in another, with teams from places 1-8 also securing home ground advantage in the return leg.

[kapitanvollsuff]

I would like it much more, if you gave those two spots that now Italy and Germany got to the next best Champions of Europe and as an compensation the extra Playoff spot for the Champions route could be given to the league route. That would lead to the field of participants representing more european countries, which makes much sense considerung it is called a EUROPEAN cup.

[khalilparker]

It's good but not good at the same time, UEFA is gonna make more money and it's gonna be entertaining along with better opportunities for smaller clubs, but its gonna crowd club's schedules and result in more injuries

[jayfreedom]

They so desperate for their breakaway euro league they just building it bit by bit.

[AstonVillaDude]

I mean wow you are an extremely underrated youtuber (I am a new subscriber)

[filipponasello]

I don’t like this new format. It’s confusing, and more games means more player fatigue, more injuries, etc.

[JoeyLu]

By looking at your video game scenes, I realized that it is not me being suck, it is EA forget to put defense into the game.

[lfndxjw]

Looking at it like this, if you have a really lower league team I your table because there's more points to play for you could play a weaker side like we sometimes do in the league Cup so you could make more changes and gain experience for the youth or reserve players, like I say it's more breathing space with more points to play for, we will just have to see if that is a possibility but it does create huge revenue for the top teams giving more power towards spending and widening the gap at the top.

[raydawson]

No matter how many rules you break you still get to play in it.
