Evolution of UEFA club competitions from 2018

The format for the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League for 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21 have been confirmed, with no changes to the compettions system but a new procedure for entries.

Changes

  • The UEFA Europa League winners will automatically qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage (currently they can potentially take part in a play-off round)
  • The top four clubs from the four top-ranked national associations will now qualify automatically for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
    The full details of the access list for both competitions will be finalised by the end of the year.
  • A new system for the club coefficients: clubs will be judged on their own records (deletion of the country share for individual club coefficient unless that coefficient is lower than 20% of the association’s coefficient).
  • Historical success in the competition will also be acknowledged in coefficient calculation (points for previous European titles with a weighted system for UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League titles)
  • Financial distribution to clubs will be increased significantly for both competitions.
  • A new four-pillar financial distribution system (starting fee, performance in the competition, individual club coefficient and market pool) will see sporting performances better rewarded, while market pool share will decrease.

No good changes at all. The automatic qualification for the top4 associations is a joke.

And just like how SmackDown is now better than Raw, the Europa League is better than the Champiobs League.

Woukdn’t mind if we finish 5th now tbh, be interesting trying to win the more entertaining competition than finishing R16 in the Bayerealona show.

See this is where the Twitter thing doesn’t work on here. Justs posts a link instead of the gif and the funny part of the post is lost. Shame.

Gonna watch Juve-Seville.
Leicester take the lead with Albrighton! They are gonna win the Champions League as well!
What a chance for Khedira! He really bottled it 1 vs. 1 against the keeper.
Aguero scores for City, Mehmedi for Leverkusen and Gotze for Dortmund.
@Persona, are you happy? :ozil2:
Porto and Lyon take the lead as well. Juventus don’t know how to handle Seville atm.
2-0 Dortmund, 2-0 Leverkusen and Monaco score against Tottenham!
Khedira bottles another great chance!

Aguero just went down from very little contact holding his knee, never a good sign.

Kelechi Iheanacho coming on, or not?

Gladbach losing 2-0 but winning social media right now.

Isn’t this an intense amount of goals 30 mins into a CL round?

edit (30mins I mean)

What a cock up Rico was about to make! Dybale couldn’t take advantage of it!
2-0 Monaco, lol!

#136

Even the group stages are a joke these days. It’s quite evident which clubs are going too make the next round.

Time for unseeded draws.

Only way to fix the situation is to fix the financial doping.
