Newspaper ‘The Telegraph’ unveils proposal that is on the table
The English newspaper ‘The Telegraph’ reveals this Tuesday that UEFA is studying a new dispute model for the Champions League, with a view to making the competition more attractive and facing the European Super League that some clubs intend to create.
One of the ideas is for each team to play 10 games in the group stage, which would allow for more encounters between major league clubs. The race would have the participation of 32 or 36 teams. The UEFA model is designed to have fewer games between teams considered “uninteresting” and more between big European clubs.
After 10 games, the top 16 would move to the knockout phase and there would be an NBA-style playoff, with the first to face the 16 and so on. Teams finishing between 17th and 24th places would be relegated to the Europa League.
The Telegraph writes that this project comes two months after Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez took advantage of the financial turbulence caused by covid-19 and the failure of the ‘Project Big Picture’ in England to convince Manchester United, Liverpool and others. three Premier League clubs to move away from current structures and line up in the European Super League.
It should be remembered that currently the 32 teams in the Champions League are divided into 8 groups of four and that the first two of each group qualify for the round of 16, a phase to be eliminated. The third is sent to the Europa League.
