This was helpful thanks NOU.

I like it, it’s new and different.

Finish top 8 and you’re through.

Finish as low as 24th and you can still go through via a play off.

Think that gives clubs who would usually finish 3rd/4th in the old format a great chance of progressing.

Not sure if the bigger clubs will look at it and think let’s finish as high as possible (1st to 8th) or will they just do enough to finish 9-24th and take the chance on going through via the play off?

You could end up with a club finishing 24th going on to win the thing.

I like that the final round of league games is played simultaneously

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

It's not a wind up. I knew they were changing the format but not to this crap.

Away at PSG and Juve will be tough, and potentially Sporting.

Home to Brugge, Feyenoord and Prague should be guaranteed wins though.

Have Inter improved or got worse since we beat them in the CL final?

Why couldn't they leave well alone? Actually; don't bother answering, I already know.....

I remember Liverpool's last home draw with Real Madrid. Thing of beauty

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

This is fucking baffling.
