While it’s exciting for fans, it also raises questions: Will it boost competition or overwhelm players? Will smaller clubs benefit, or will the top teams dominate? What’s your take? Is this a step forward for football, or does it risk losing the magic of the tournament? #ChampionsLeague #UEFA #Football #Sports #UEMStudyAbroadPT
