With Bayern Munich, Juventus and last year’s beaten finalist Borussia Dortmund also in the playoff positions the potential for big teams to be drawn against each other means there could be some unexpected early exits.So far only Liverpool and Barcelona are guaranteed a place in the last 16, with the top eight teams qualifying automatically and places nine to 24 entering a two-legged playoff.League formats in soccer traditionally follow the same convention.
UEFA said that would mean more chance of the biggest teams going head-to-head earlier in the competition. It also means more opportunities for the lower ranked teams to play against opposition of a similar standard and ultimately the chance to pick up more points as a result. As Slot says, “if in tennis you are No. 1-seeded you know it’s always better to face the No. 24 than to face the No. 8, or the No. 12, because this is a ranking that is done for years. But now we are in a new format where some teams are high in the league table because they had a lucky draw, or some teams are low because they had a very difficult draw.”
