Ancelotti Comments on Champions League Format

Brazil national team head coach Carlo Ancelotti has shared his thoughts on the current format of the Champions League. As is known, starting from last season, a general stage with 36 teams replaced the group stage.

"The idea to make the group stage more exciting was only partially successful: there are very good matches, but there are also many other games ending with scores like 7-0 or 8-1. It can be said that this is a contradiction: the idea was good, but now, as it was two years ago, real interest only begins in the knockout stage," Ancelotti told *La Gazzetta dello Sport.*

The reigning Champions League winner is Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
