The new Champions League format features a 36-team league phase instead of the previous eight groups, allowing teams greater flexibility in matchups and more thrilling encounters.
Teams will be divided into four pots based on seeding, and a software program will determine home and away matches against two opponents from each pot.
The new system enhances competitiveness, as teams will now face stronger opponents consistently, while ensuring country rivals do not face each other in the initial matches.
The changes in the Champions League mean that the top eight teams automatically qualify for the knockout stage, while lower-ranked teams battle for a play-off position.
