  • Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is not entirely sold on the new Champions League format after his team barely scraped through to the knockout round, but called the experience an "incredible lesson" for his team.

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has expressed his concerns about the new Champions League format set to be implemented in the 2024-25 season. In an interview with Reuters, Guardiola highlighted the increased number of matches, from 13 to 17, which he believes will significantly strain players due to the already packed football calendar. He described the change as a "great lesson" for football authorities, suggesting that the decision was made without adequate consideration for player welfare. Guardiola emphasized the need for better scheduling to allow for sufficient rest and recovery, pointing out the potential negative impact on player performance and health. He also mentioned the logistical challenges, like the possibility of playing matches in different countries within a short timeframe, which could further complicate travel and recovery.
