new UEFA Champions League formatESPN

UEFA Champions League format has caused quite a stir in the first two gameweeks of the new competition.
Some teams have been beaten by a margin of 4 + goals in the opening two weeks of the competition.
But there have been plenty of good teams in the competition, and bad teams have always been present in the Champions League .
Bayern Munich , Barcelona , Real Madrid , Paris Saint-Germain , and Atlético Madrid have all lost one of their opening two games.
But video games can give us a reference point of what will be required to make the top eight automatic spots.
"Football Manager" baked the new Champions League format into their game two years ago .
UEFA sneaking extra games into the new Champions League format will have been a factor too.
The old group-stage format gave teams just three opponents to play twice, home and away.
Now it's eight opponents and they're all different; there's no return fixture to consider, a much longer list of fixtures to remember.
The positive is that it adds great variety to the fixture list.
