Champions League
Ah, ok thanks. I agree, 16 teams is perfect and provides a workable format. It also ensures that only those that deserve to be there actually qualify. I'd like to see how the format will change with 24 teams and how they will get the 8 quarter finalists from that. Best placed runner-up spots will make things complicated.
They never learn though mate. Had this farrago I think in WC's 86-94 with teams calculating to finish third in their group or as will be the case with this if they retain 6 groups of 4 who finishes second.
Cue more cagey football....... Thanks Platini.
