After 3 rounds of UEFA Champions League group stage matches, Inter Milan is at the top with a winning record, their qualifying performance is quite optimistic. The team ranked second is Ajax with 4 points after one win, one draw and one loss, ranked third is one win and two losses. Lyon with 3 points, and Rosenborg with 1 draw and 2 defeats are in last place.
Ajax and Lyon still have a chance to continue into the next stage of the group stage with second place, but Ajax is stronger and has the upper hand in the first direct confrontation.
The top two teams in 8 groups with a total of 16 teams will compete in a round-robin competition, in which the top two teams in each group will be the top 8. The number and schedule of matches in this tournament system makes all clubs participating in the UEFA Champions League miserable. .
Therefore, UEFA is discussing restructuring. Perhaps next year's UEFA Champions League season 2003-04 will not have the second round of the group stage but will directly play the best 16 home and away matches.
In this case, the number of matches for the top 16 teams will be reduced from 6 matches to 2 matches, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the team. .....
