The only thing uefa do randomly is how often the brown envelopes are swapped about

The group stages have been pretty dull for years, favouring the best teams.

This makes things much more interesting and gets rid of that predictable group stage.

The Champions League now has a league stage. There was nothing "league" about it previously.

Looking forward to it. Refreshing change.

Went in March and everywhere was pretty steep, most of Europe gone the same way.
