under the new competition system, can real madrid successfully defend its title? (file) xinhua news agency
after entering september, the new uefa champions league will meet fans. this time, the uefa champions league has not only expanded to 36 teams, but also increased the number of games. if a team wants to win the championship, they even have to play 17 games. no wonder the major clubs, players and fans are all complaining that they can't stand it before the group draw.
according to the new competition system, a team must first play eight games, four home and four away, in the group stage. then the 36 teams will be ranked based on their results. if the team is strong and ranks in the top eight, it will directly enter the top 16; if it is unfortunately ranked between 9th and 24th, it will have to play two more games and the winner can enter the top 16.
after entering the round of 16, the competition system returns to the previous mode. the team will play a total of six games in the quarter-finals, quarter-finals and semi-finals. if everything goes smoothly, they will eventually fight for the championship in a decisive final. in this way, if you want to win the championship, you have to play at least 15 games, and at most 17 games. this is two to four more games than before. although it doesn't seem like much, the season is already full. even if two more games are added, it will definitely squeeze the players' already pitiful rest time.
what's more, there will be a one-month club world cup next year. as the participating european giants, they are either in the game or on the way to the game this year.
after the champions league expanded to 36 teams, we found that the teams worth watching are still the same dozen or so giants, and the rest are weak teams that frequently finished at the bottom of the champions league or even failed to enter the main competition. therefore, there will be a lot of tasteless matches that fans don't want to watch, and the so-called strong dialogues are still the same few games. therefore, after studying the new champions league system, many fans' most intuitive feeling is "let's start watching from the knockout stage."
however, uefa did not set up the new competition system for the sake of viewing pleasure, they have more issues to consider. the main purpose is of course to generate revenue. adding more games is equivalent to increasing ticket revenue and other corresponding revenues. on the other hand, it increases the opportunities for low-level european clubs to meet with the top teams.
in terms of bonuses, uefa has always been generous. they also allow non-giant clubs to earn more income by expanding the army. the total bonus for the new season of the champions league will reach 2.467 billion euros. each of the 36 teams has a guaranteed participation bonus of 18.62 million euros, and each victory will be rewarded with 2.1 million euros. the team ranked first in the group stage will receive a bonus of 275,000 x 36 (teams) (a total value of 9.9 million euros), and the second in points will receive 275,000 x 35 (teams), and so on. the 1st to 8th place in the group stage will also receive an additional bonus of 2 million euros, and the 9th to 16th place will receive an additional bonus of 1 million euros. the team that enters the knockout stage will receive a bonus of 1 million euros. the top 16 teams will receive a bonus of 11 million euros, the top 8 will receive 12.5 million euros, the top 4 will receive 15 million euros, and the final will receive 18.5 million euros. the final winner will receive another 6.5 million euros in winning bonuses. the championship team will receive more than 100 million euros in bonuses alone. each team will also receive other fees from uefa based on the value of the tv broadcast rights and the value of long-term performance (such as the uefa coefficient ranking for five years). it can be said that as long as you work hard, you can count money every day.
you get what you sow. how can you count the money without being exhausted? i believe the club will make its own judgment on what is more important.
