Changes in the Champions League

For the last 32 years, the Champions League has had the same format but this year for no apparent reason and fans are very upset. The old Champions League format would consist of 32 teams. These teams were spread across 8 groups. Each within the group would play each other once at their home stadium and once at the opposing team's stadium. This would result in 6 games being played for each team. The new format has 36 teams and all these teams are put into 1 big league, causing all the teams to play 8 games in the league stage. That means that if a team plays the maximum number of games in the Champions League, they will be playing up to 17 games. 

This has fans enraged because they know that the United European Football Association is just doing it for the money. Another big problem with this new format is that it causes players to be overplayed and increases the chance of injuries. Fans are also very upset about how they ruined the culture of the original Champions League.
