Osimhen needs to work on his PKs. Not a good conversion ratio from the spot.

That, and staying onside. Probably the two biggest areas he needs to improve in his game.

The new format for the Champion's League has been made official


How do they determine the 8 games each team plays though? if it's by random draw there's gonna be teams getting a top 8 position just because of an easier schedule and then get washed in the round of 16 :bryan:

Random but teams are in the same pots that they currently use now when they make groups.

So for example psg would only play 2 other league champion teams as they would both be in pot 1

Going off Football Manager it appears to be random.

I have ended up playing mad big teams in the league phase.
I don't really like it,

Kinda takes away from when you actually get to the knockout rounds cause I end up playing those same teams i've already played.

Yeah, it's a fine line between taking away from special matchups that happen very rarely and creating rivalries between big clubs (a Bayern vs Madrid, for example).
