Another Champions league revamp...?

CL should be a knockout competition between the winners of ALL European leagues within UEFA.
EL should be same for 2nd placed team.
Cup Winners Cup should be same for winners of each country’s F.A. Cup.

Sadly, $$$$$ is all ANYONE cares about anymore, esp the powers that be that are skimming all the corporate money from the trough!
Absolutely spot on with the cup criteria and also the £££ aspect of why it wont happen

Why should it be like that? It just gives you a shit competition that's easier to win and less people are interested in.

The idea that the european cup was better when it was the champions of every country is a complete nonsense, and you only need to look at the routes to the finals of old competitions to know that.

If the aim is to find the best team in Europe, then excluding 80% of the best teams in the world is complete idiocy.

You either have the CL roughly as it is today, or you have a mini tournament like the Club world cup, between the English, Spanish, French, German, Italian & Portuguese champions.

So with your logic of the best teams in Europe competing - the Championship sides should get entry before the Albanian champions.

As a 'cup' competition the old European cup competition was simple and straight forward. Obviously it wasn't as big a money spinner as the Champion League format, but it was only one by teams qualifying as domestic champions. The CL competition is just a money spinner that's designed to be won by the old guard
 
The limit for teams from one league should be 3, no more. Ridiculous that you get the same reward for finishing 4th as 2nd.

It's called the Champions League and for me that should mean only Champions of league's should enter 3rd & 4th place is a piss take although I didn't mind when we 1st entered lol.

As a cup competition the old format was fucking stupid, and today it would 100x worse. Oh fantastic, let's all watch Real Madrid pummel a bunch of teams you've never heard of 8-0 on aggregate until the semi final.

The reality of modern football is that the best teams in the world are spread across 5 countries. If you want an international competition which puts the best against the best, you have to include the best teams.
