The 2024/25 edition of the UEFA Champions League will follow a new format

 

From the 2024/25 season, the 36 clubs will participate in a single league competition in which all 36 competing clubs are ranked together.

Under the new format, teams will play eight matches (four at home, four away) between September and January.

 

The top eight sides in the league will qualify automatically for the round of 16, while the teams finishing in 9th to 24th place will compete in a two-legged knock-out phase play-off to secure their path to the last 16 of the competition.

Teams that finish 25th or lower will be eliminated, with no access to the UEFA Europa League

 

 

Kick off on 9 July 2024 and runs until the final on Saturday 31 May 2025.

New season has begun with First Qualifying Round, and as always the radar is on    teams

 

Unfortunately, the debut of Virtus AC in Europe was difficult against FCSB : result 1 - 7

for FCSB: Olaru 3 goal +1 assist; Popa 2 goals + 1 assist and Miculescu 2 goals

for Virtus scored Manuel Battistini

 

First goal of the season scored form Veliulis Panevezys (Ltu) 3-0 HJK (Fin)

This will be hilarious if Jagiellonia Białystok ends up having the shortest travel possible to Lithuania

 

Media over here thought HJK would be favored to progress.

Wait, a single ranking will be made based on matches played against entirely different opponents? That's hilariously ridiculous

Well, the dream sequel of this is almost over.

FCSB - Sparta Prague 2-3 with a garbage of ref. I don't know why UEFA delegate a Danish ref where a team have a Danish coach and some Danish players. Sparta's GK keeping on time from 50th minute and no yellow card entire match.  Overall, Czechia has 2 teams in UCL play-off, congrats to them and good luck

 

PAOK - Malmo 3-4 was something epic, great match for Swedish team, now let's see Sparta against Malmo

 

Qarabaq scoring 7 goals in Bulgaria against Ludogorets I don't know what happened to Ludogorets, this team was very good some years ago, now it's a shadow...

 

Mourinho and Fenerbahce eliminated by Lille in 116th minute from penalty kick. Also Twente - Salzburg 3-3 was great to watch. Can't wait for the play-offs

[Roamingrover86 856]

Wow Slovan Bratislava are through to the Group/league phase of the Champions league @hckošice is that a first for a Slovak club? 

[hckošice 14,822]

Slovan Bratislava just made it to the Champions League.

 

Becoming only the 4th club in history to progress to the main round after nowadays non-existant 1.FC Košice in 1997/98 (lost all 6 group games), nowadays 2nd division Artmedia Petržalka (Bratislava largest suburb) in 2005/06 (the only team to win a group match in Porto and reached also 3 draws in that group against FC Porto at home and in both games against Glasgow Rangers) and MŠK Žilina in 2010/11 (lost all 6 group matches)
