In this new edition of the Champions League, UEFA has implemented significant changes. Instead of the traditional 32 teams divided into eight groups, now 36 teams will participate in a league phase. All will play against each other in eight matches, half at home and the other half away.
At the end of this stage, they will be ranked in a single table. The top eight will advance directly to the round of 16, while positions nine to twenty-four will play a playoff round to define the last eight teams advancing to the next phase. Teams ranked 25 and below will be eliminated with no option to play in the Europa League.
Probable lineups: - Atletico Madrid: Jan Oblak; Marcos Llorente, Axel Witsel, Robin Le Normand, Reinildo; Rodrigo De Paul, Koke, Samuel Lino; Ángel Correa, Antoine Griezmann, and Julián Álvarez. Coach: Bruno Génésio. - Lille: Lucas Chevalier; Tiago Santos, Bafodé Diakité, Alexsandro, Gabriel Gudmundsson; Ayyoub Bouaddi, Benjamin André, Edon Zhegrova, Rémy Cabella, Mitchel Bakker, and Jonathan David.
