Champions League: UEFA set to make major changes
Europe’s football governing body, UEFA is reportedly planning a major shake-up to the Champions League group stage by turning it into a 14-match format, The Sun, UK, reports.
And those who finish in fifth would qualify for next year’s tournament, with sixth place and seventh place playing against one another to determine who would stay in the competition next season.The proposed change would mean that teams would play a minimum of 14 matches in the competition and 21 wins needed to secure the Champions League trophy.
If the plans were adopted, then continental fixtures per season would increase from 407 to a whopping 647.
