It's a real sh1t show to be honest. Even after the group stages, there are play-offs before the actual knockout stages.
And no doubt, the 'we play too many matches' whingers will be out in force. |  |

Although, in terms of protecting the big clubs, I was pleasantly surprised to see that UEFA have stopped the repecharge format, with third-placed teams in the group phases (or their new-format equivalent) dropping down into the next-tier competition.
At least the Europa League will now be won by an UEL qualifier, rather than a UCL team on a second chance. | |
