I love it when federations decide for us which matches are and aren't interesting /sarcasm
One step closer to that Super League thingy where we'd get a billion Real Madrid - Manchester United, Manchester City - Bayern Munich and so on during the season. A season full of only big and special matches, meaning none of them are big and special anymore
The main rationale behind the format change is reducing the number of uninteresting/unimportant matches and avoiding "rigging" results and fixing matches, which will obviously never happen.
