I see the new CL format involves 8 games, 4 home and 4 away which stretches the league format into January. But finishing in the top 8 puts you into the last 16 and avoids a play-off. So rather than 6 x group games and then 7 more games to win the tournament (13 in total) you'll play at least 15 to win it or potentially 17. Exactly what's needed!
Positively at least you'll get 2 teams from each pot drawn together as part of the league phase. So we'll have a few more interesting games to play earlier in the competition potentially.
