I'm convinced of the new format. But admittedly, I also have to get used to two points: the league phase against eight different opponents without return games. And that the draw for the round of 16, for which we of course want to qualify directly, determines the entire tournament brackets.
There will be more injuries. Uefa knows it, they don't care at all.
I'm sure that Pep is not planning to go into the playoffs with Manchester City, but to qualify directly for the round of 16, it takes a total of 15 games, which is exactly two more than in the old format.
The Premier League with 20 clubs means four more games than in the Bundesliga. We have one cup, the English teams have two. So the overall workload is higher for them.
