Explained: Why 18 UCL Matches Are Taking Place Simultaneously And Why Teams Cannot Afford Missing Top 8 And 24 Spot

The final round of league stage matches in the 2024-25 Champions League will take place in the early hours of Thursday morning with all 36 teams in action as 18 matches taking place at the same time.
The article from MSN Sports explains the unique scheduling of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) where 18 matches are set to occur simultaneously. This unusual arrangement is due to the new format of the competition which now includes a single league phase where all 36 teams play each other in a Swiss-style system, rather than the traditional group stage. This change aims to increase the number of high-stakes games and ensure that every match has significance. The simultaneous matches are scheduled to manage the tight calendar and to avoid any team gaining an unfair advantage by knowing the results of other games in advance. Teams are particularly keen on finishing in the top 8 to directly qualify for the knockout stages, or at least in the top 24 to enter a playoff round, as missing these spots could mean an early exit from the competition. This format intensifies the competition, making every game crucial for teams' progression.
