Eight opponents, eight games including two upsets
Always divided into four hats, the qualifiers will be drawn at random by a member of UEFA before being watched by a computer that will automatically (and according to specially designed software) assign two competitors from each of the four hats.
Obviously, a club from hat 1 will face two opponents from hat 1, two from hat 2, two from hat 3 and two from hat 4.
Unlike the previous formula, a team will only play one game against each opponent. For each hat, a club will play one match at home and one away (according to a computerized random draw).

hi everyone,
From 6 in this Thursday from Monaco, UEFA will proceed to the draw for the main stage of the Champions League. Unlike previous years, the 36 qualifiers will not be divided into groups of four.
Instead, the new format of the prestigious tournament provides for one series. A tournament in which each participant will face eight opponents in eight straight games.
