The new Champions League format appears to be leveling the playing field. Just ask Man City

A bold new vision for the Champions League was launched this season, meaning more games and more money for European soccer's elite, as well as a rebuttal to the threat of a controversial breakaway super league.
The new Champions League format, which includes a 36-team league phase replacing the traditional group stage, seems to be leveling the playing field, as evidenced by Manchester City's recent performance. Previously, teams like Manchester City, who were knocked out in the group stages in 2012, now face a different challenge with this new structure. The format ensures that even top teams must compete intensely from the start, with each team playing eight games instead of six, and the top eight teams automatically advancing to the knockout stage. This change has introduced more competition and unpredictability, as seen with Manchester City's struggle against teams like Red Star Belgrade, suggesting that the new system might be reducing the dominance of perennial powerhouses and giving lesser-known teams a better chance to shine.
