Suj and James Pod on the rebranding of UEFA's club competitions that begins next season which includes the removal of the traditional 4 team, 8 Group format. In its place will be a 36 team 'Swiss-system' league table. The promise is that the competition remains based on sporting merit and that there will be more top matches from the start of the competition. But is that really the case? There's discussion on qualification for the competition, how the tournament will work both during the League stage and then during the knockout phase, the alterations to the calendar that will affect domestic football in England, the complexities UEFA may find with the 36 team league draw and there's coverage of the changes to the Europa League and Europa Conference League too. Plus, why it's possible for England to have as many as seven representatives in the Champions League and as many as eleven qualifiers for European competitions in future seasons, and ultimately thoughts on if the new format will be successful or not.
