The new era of the Champions League begins with Mbappe trying to win his first title. The games that are coming up look amazing.

The UEFA Champions League will have 36 teams this season instead of 32. Each team will play eight games instead of six, against eight different teams instead of three. Juventus plays PSV to start, and Young Boys plays Aston Villa.

With 36 teams, the UEFA Champions League is the biggest and best club football tournament in the world. It starts on Tuesday. For six years, plans have been made to change the structure, but what’s more important is that the Super League launch failed. The best football teams in Europe got together to make the Super League. The league didn’t exist after its first game, but the powerhouses got what they wanted. This season, they will play more Champions League games, most of which will be against “strong opponents.” They will also get more money.

Tuesday’s opening night is a big hit.

Kylian Mbappé start his search for a first title with his third club, Real Madrid, who host Stuttgart. Real Madrid is a record 15-time European winner. Mbappé made it to the semifinals with Monaco in 2017 and lost in the finals with Paris Saint-Germain in 2020.

In the end, all 36 teams will be placed from best to worst in a single league standings that ends in January. This is different from the old system of four-team groups that ended in December.

As of Thursday, UEFA has cleared its plan for the middle of the week so that the main club event can start up again over back-to-back nights with six games each.
