Ever since Uefa announced its plans to alter the format of the Champions League in 2021, the impact on matches has been a hot topic. Scrutiny has only increased since the changes were implemented in time for the 2024-25 season. After beginning life as a six-team invitational tournament in 1955-56 before growing to a 32-team knockout tournament in 1967, the Champions League as we know it began in 1992. A group stage was added, with the last 16 entering a knockout phase. There was a brief spell with two group stages, but this was reverted back to the single group-stage format for the 2003-04 tournament. The group stage previously featured 32 teams in eight groups of four, with the top two sides from each of those groups qualifying for the last 16. For the start of the 2024-25 season, the group stage was replaced with a 36-team league phase, with each side playing eight one-off fixtures instead of six games against three teams. The top eight finishers qualify directly for the knockout stages, with those placed ninth to 24th entering a two-legged play-off stage. The bottom eight are eliminated, meaning that after eight matches, 24 sides are still in the competition.
