At the beginning of 2024/25 Champions League The campaign, UEFA, decided to take the league format, in which the teams played eight different teams, removing group stages.
Eight the best in the league went straight to the last 16, while the pages placed between the ninth and 24th place are preparing Real Madrid AND Celtic vs. Bayern Munich will take place.
Round of round in the Champions League to change
But the adoption of the Swiss League format in the style of the model is not the only review of the rules that the Champions League has seen recently, and the travel gate rules was caught in the 2021/22 season.
Earlier, goals scored by the sides away from home were more important than the gates scored at the stadiums at home, but UEFA decided that she had provided too much advantage on one side and decided to remove it. Now you can determine another aspect of games with a knockout.
According to The GuardianUEFA is considering scrapping extra time from knockout, which ends the level after 180 minutes of action, with matches set straight to the punishment.
The UEFA Executive Committee would have to ratify the proposed change, which is supposedly only at the informal stage of the discussion. As a result, each change will not come into force for the next few years, especially in the case of the current series of television rights until 2027.
Removing additional time is aimed at reducing the number of minutes for the best professionals, taking into account the introduction of additional competitions, such as the League of Nations, as well as the extension FIFA Club World Cup.
This decision would take place after Super Cup matches, he would not have additional time introduced from 2023. Manchester CityProfit 1-1 this year Sevilla He went straight to penalties, with the victory of the side Pep Guardiola.
The competition in England has also adopted similar funds to reduce the number of minutes with which players must fight. FA cup Replays no longer exist, while League cup The fittings that are drawn after 90 minutes straight to the penalties to the semi -finals.
IN FourfourOpinion, a decision to scrap additional time would be a welcome change. It always seemed a bit unfair that the side playing at home in the other leg would have an additional advantage if the tie also went to the extra time, allowing them to play 30 minutes in front of the home fans. In addition, there are not many activities in additional times.
