| Does anybody know or heard information that the Champions League 3rd round qualifying draw format is changing this year.
Somebody has told me that because the Champions League only has one league round that UEFA want the biggest teams to participate, that means the teams who qualified for the 3rd round qualifyer as champions of their country's will have the draw weighted in their favour.
For example, a team that qualified as Champions of their country that begin their CL campaign at the 3rd qualifying round stage will be put into a seeded pot and will be drawn against a team from the bottom half of the unseeded section.
Hope this makes sense and does anybody know anything more about this. |
