Champio's changes/ Surprises are increasing, City and Real cannot overcome

After many debates but with a decisive conclusion, the Uefa Champions League managed to change the qualifying phase by removing the group phase and applying a system similar to that of the championships.

Already 36 qualified teams in the elite European football area are playing the first stage of the event.

The first 8 teams that will be calculated according to the points received, will go directly to the 1/8 stage automatically.

The other 16 teams, which come in weightage, will play head-to-head according to the pot draw, where 8 of the winning pairs will play according to the draw with the 8 teams qualified with the first stage.

The rest do not go to the Europa League zone, but to direct elimination.

The Madrid champions, champions of the Champions League last season, are disappointing going to 24th place.

In the same way, elite players like Haaland, Mbappe, Junior are not in good shape at all, but this cannot be said for Jamal, a player who, after surprising with Spain, is debuting well with Barcelona.

So far, teams like Liverpool, Inter, Barcelona and Atalanta seem safe towards the first 8 places, while the signs are still not good for Real Madrid, Manchester City, Milan and Arsenal.

In terms of the number of goals so far, Barcelona bomber Robert Lewandoski has scored 7 goals, while Harry Kane of Bayern, Rafinja of Barcelona, ​​Wirtz of Barcelona, ​​Gyokeres of Sporting and Haaland have 5 goals each.
