Champions League Draw - 29th August '24 | Opponents (pg69) | Fixtures (pg128)

How many teams go through the group stages?

There isn't a group stage. After the league stage the competition reverts to the same knockout rounds it's always had.

I am still puzzled and don't understand how it all panned out, But Manchester City are the team everybody wants to avoid

Airlines will be all over the place trying to hike flight prices.

Is the order of the games set yet?

 

[East Level 2]

What is this shite? So we don't play each team home and away??

I hope that's a wind-up as this has been the stated format for over 12 months.

Nothing they just have a lot of blank faces, it’s easy to understand.

They understand, a lot to take in working out whether its a decent draw or not.The old way we knew straight away.

From the Guardian: Liverpool are the penultimate team out of Pot One. They face Real Madrid (H) and Leipzig (A) – that much we know – and we can add Leverkusen (H), Milan (A), Lille (H), PSV Eindhoven (A), Bologna (H), Girona (A) to their fixture list.

Hope the thieves get smashed.....they are vermin

Is this format an attempt to placate those nefarious types who want a super league? Or is it just adding more games to make more money?

I trust the draw not to be fixed but I think UEFA could easily get up to some mischief with the fixtures
