A new era of the Champions League! Paris was crowned for the first time, and the new competition system triggered a "national battle"!
8:53am, 4 June 2025Football
On June 1, captain Marginhos won the Champions League trophy on behalf of Paris Saint-Germain! 🏆 In the 2024-25 season, the first "Champions League Stage" after the reorganization ended with a subversive ending - bid farewell to the "aircraft carrier" model with superstars, and this more balanced "Paris Greater" fulfilled its ultimate dream! ✨
🔄 The competition system has changed drastically: the group stage disappears, and the "big melee" of the top 36 begins!
The Champions League has ushered in historic reforms this season:
expands to 36 teams and cancels the traditional group stage.
League stage: 36 teams are divided into four levels, each team faces 8 different opponents (4 homes and 4 aways).
Promotion rules: Top 8 people go directly to the top 16🔥; 9-24 people play in the playoffs to compete for the remaining seats; 25-36 people are eliminated.
🎢 Suspense is full! Unpopularity emerges one after another, and the wealthy families are in shock!
The new competition has unprecedentedly fierce competition:
⚡️ Lille (advanced from the qualifying round) defeated Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid one after another; Manchester City lost to Portugal Sports 1:4.
⚽️ In order to achieve a key goal difference, big scores such as 9:2 and 7:1 appeared.
😅 After six rounds of the league stage, only Liverpool won completely. Non-traditional strong teams such as Brest and Lille ranked among the top eight, while Manchester City, Real Madrid and Paris once ranked low, ensuring their qualification for promotion. The process is exciting!
⚠️ Sweet Troubles: The schedule is intensive, the test is upgraded!
The new competition system extends the competition cycle:
📅 The league stage lasts until the end of January of the following year (the previous group stage ends in December).
⏱️ For example, the final champion Paris has participated in the February play-offs, and there are European games every month throughout the season. Intensive schedules are serious challenges to players' physical fitness and lineup depth.
🚢 Paris realizes its dream: "atypical" without superstars reaches the top!
Paris's road to winning the championship is full of resilience:
📉 bid farewell to the era of superstars: Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Mbappe, and Messi's era has failed to make any impact. After Mbappe left the team last summer, the outside world did not regard him as the number one hottest.
🎢Struggle in the league stage: I was on the verge of elimination, but I only locked in the playoff qualification at the last moment.
💪 Back to the Wind: 5 games were lost in the entire Champions League journey, but it showed strong adjustment ability under the new competition system. After defeating three Premier League teams in a row, they won the final against Inter Milan, which was dragged down by the league, and ended their years of waiting!
🌟 Team Winning: Youth Power + Clear Blueprint!
The cornerstone of this champion Paris:
🎯Dembele evolved into a stable scoring point.
⚡️Balcola and Douai provide vitality and impact.
🧠Vitinia controls the rhythm of the midfield.
The age structure is reasonable, the tactical ideas are unified, and the future is promising!
❓ New Champions League = Success? Reforms have initially shown results?
The first Champions League after the restructuring brings:
💰 earnings increase: the team receives higher bonuses.
🎉The experience of watching the game is upgraded: suspense, unpopularity, and fierce confrontation run through the whole process.
🧪Brand new test: extremely high requirements for team adaptability and lineup thickness.
After the "European Super League" storm, this first new UEFA Champions League, full of variables and stories, provided reformers with a positive preliminary answer in terms of competitive excitement and business returns. The passion of fans is ignited. Is this a "win-win" situation that all parties are looking forward to? 🤔
Paris' persistence will eventually be rewarded! This champion, created with the strength of the team, has written an exciting beginning for the new European Cup era! 👏 #Champions League Reform #Paris First Championship #Team Victory
