With the Champions League being debated since the start of this year, the UEFA Executive Committee have now decided to make a change to the format of the tournament. After a dramatic 2019-20 season filled with unexpected results, they have decided to make a few modifications that aim to make the competition more competitive, exciting and interesting.

One of the new changes will be the introduction of a group stage, removing the traditional knockout format that has been used since the competition began. This means that teams will have a chance to show their full potential by playing more matches, and with easier matchups this should make the group stages more interesting and unpredictable. It would also create a closer competition towards the final stages as teams that haven't been top seeds in the past will have a chance to make it to the semifinals and finals.

However, while this change to the Champions League's format would create interesting matches, it also has certain drawbacks. First, the tournament would take much longer to complete. This would make it impossible for teams to concentrate solely on the Champions League, as they would also need to pay attention to domestic league matches. The second issue is the draw system ahead of the group stages. With teams from all across Europe, the group stages could potentially be filled with imbalanced matchups, making it more difficult for teams that have performed well in their local leagues.

Despite these drawbacks, the introduction of a group stage is one of the most exciting changes to the Champions League since its invention. It should give teams from smaller leagues a chance to compete against the big clubs, while giving fans a chance to witness some unexpected results and great drama. The changes made by UEFA should give them a much needed boost, and it will be interesting to see how these changes affect the future of the tournament in the years to come.
