UEFA is considering a change.
The UEFA annual congress will be held in Vienna on May 11th, and one of the issues that will be considered is a new potential tournament format for the Champions League, which would begin in 2024.
The last approach from European football's governing body was unappealing, and UEFA is scrambling to come up with a fresh formula to improve the biggest competition.
Paris Saint-Germain and European Club Association (ECA) head Nasser Al-Khelaifi explored the possibility of UEFA having a Final Four-style format in the city that has hosted the competition's final until now a few weeks ago.According to the Times, the concept is coming together, and it might be one of the first modifications implemented in the near future.
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said that modifications might be made in May, with UEFA considering awarding two places based on a team's past record in Europe over five years if they fail to qualify through domestic results.More appealing to business
UEFA believes that staging the Final Four on neutral ground will result in more television revenue and commercial appeal.
They're also looking into the potential of giving an extra spot to the fifth best-performing league after England, Spain, Italy, and Germany.
The group stage would consist of ten games, with clubs playing the same amount of matches at home and away, according to the previous system.
The final standings would not be broken down into groups, with the top eight teams from each of the 36 teams competing moving on to the round of 16.
