It is not league system. Two groups of 8 teams. 4 best go to knockout phase. Every team receive 350m euros for just joining.

Should we care about this game now? OMG! Everything we knew in football for decades changed today...

Bayern and PSG missing. They are so used to getting domestic titles so easy without proper opponents they would not have moral problem to continue with UEFA and call themself European champions after that 🤣

Who cares about top4 when we have our own league with best European clubs? 🤣 Basically just PSG and Bayern missing. And 15th and 16th spot in the league should be won after qualification in my opinion so teams like Dortmund, Lyon, Ajax, Napoli, Porto and all others can qualify.

What did Spurs or Milan do to deserve to be here? Milan did not play CL in years and now back on map. Historically top5 club but not now. And let me be clear, I like the idea of this system even if it is under UEFA but not closed system. Make long qualification with all the clubs from Europe but this league system of 16 best European clubs is perfect for fans.

Is Moise Kean worth 50m euros?

See? They are generous, leaving one spot for outsiders.

So we play LC twice in the space of 3 days.

Last season all 16 teams in knockout phase have been from top5 European league. This season 15. Only Porto from outside. This is basically just scraping pointless group stage and changing knockout system to more interesting and more games.

I agree. Football and sport in general are just fun and business. We live in capitalism. Why should this be different? I as a consumer will much more enjoy top teams playing each other every week. Also sounds maybe harsh but I do not care about Bate, Lodogorets, Red Star etc... Group stage is pointless, you know what will happen. Many teams are there just for goal differences. Every season the same. Plus often draw play big part. Imagine Super league 16 teams. 30 rounds, every week top games. In the end winner really is the best team. People want to see that. Guy who performs in the pub for 100 dollars per night should not complain when Lady Gaga or Bruce Springsteen make 2 millions per concert. People want to pay and see that. So really why should we care if some team from Romania or Poland dont get the chance to play top teams and get humiliated a couple of times per year? In this new Super League top teams like Liverpool, Barca can be bottom of the table, this is exciting. UEFA only have themself to blame. They should came out with this idea years ago. Clubs gave them time and they came out with even more stupid system. You can always even in Super League leave 2 open spots every year for teams that play final in 2nd major competition. So teams like Porto, Ajax can qualify if they deserve. This already happened in basketball and as we see it will happen in football. National federations would eventually go against UEFA because they would want to keep top teams. UEFA can pretty much become irrelevant.

Do not forget: HE WON CORNER IN FINAL!!!

UEFA is just threatening. They have no power. Why would national leagues ban top clubs? For them it stays the same.

I am afraid for potential final. PSG and City did not joined yet, stayed close to UEFA while we and Real did. Referee in the final?

I think Liverpool will also finish top4 with us. LC and WH will slip. And just typical UTD win happened. Burnley better side in second half on 1:1 and 2 goals in the end out of nothing. But they are 2nd for sure. I actually like the idea of them putting some pressure on City so City cannot focus only on CL. From 14 points now 8.

Why are Spurs in Super league? Not a big club, they won nothing. I am happy about UEFA tho. Fuck that corrupt organization.

Juventus CL place in danger. No wonder they go strong for this new league. Wonder why plastic teams like PSG and City are against it?

Which players really? We don't have regular starting 11. We just beat City without Chris, Mendy, Kovacic... Pulisic and Havartz also didn't start. I think under Tuchel Alonso and CHO have more minutes than Chilwell and James. Whoever he picks it does not hurt our quality on the pitch. Maybe only Rudiger and Azpi don't get rotated.

I liked Pedro but Pedro is Pedro. He gave us what we expected from him. Werner came with pedigree of one of the best goalscorers in Europe. I want to compere him with Lewandowski, Immobile, Haaland, Mbappe in terms of goals. Not with Pedro or Mount or Ziyech or Willian. This is the standard he set for himself in Leipzig. In doesn't matter in which games his misses came. We played 31 PL games and 10 CL games. This is 41 games in two major competitions. Werner scored in just 4 games of these games not counting penalties.

For bookmakers final Chelsea:PSG least likely to happen. For me most likely.
