The biggest change is to the group stage, which will become a single 36-team League stage. Each side faces eight different teams (four at home, four away). The top eight overall advance directly to the round of 16; sides finishing from ninth to 24th will contest the knockout round play-offs, with the victors going through to the last 16. From then on it is a straight knockout.

Jogo deprimente. O Braga vendeu bem e caro, mas também fez investimentos pouco habituais. Não vejo nadinha de especial. Excepto o Zalazar… Que já lá estava.
Sobre o jogo de ontem entre o Ajax e o Panathinaikos, para pôr em perspectiva as 34 penalidades do mesmo, este jogo e acontecimento passa a entrar no record como o jogo de todas a as competições da UEFA com mais penalties, seguido apenas de um jogo entre os sub-21 da Holanda contra a Inglaterra onde houveram 32, e o resto da tabela “classificativa” ficam ainda a uma boa margem.
Em termos gerais passa a ser o 4º com mais penalties de sempre.
