We may all eventually realize that the aim of changing the format of the Champions League is to improve this competition for the better. Some people were against the decision to change the format, including some of the participating teams, but in the end they will enjoy it.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Milan and several other top teams have lost. They were all favorites in this round, but the competitiveness of the match has forced them to lose. But the next match will be difficult for Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as for their opponents. Dortmund vs Real Madrid, Bayern Munich vs Barcelona, are really tough matches for these 4 teams.
The new champions league format wasn’t what people don’t like because of it is increased number of games and this has nothing to do with making the league better. This for monetary reasons and not for the sport alone, this new feature though has big clubs dropping points to lower clubs. And many top matches already have drop points already, so the last six matches would be a battle to watch.

It’s really, so I hope this should not be a sign that Bayern Munich will be a weak team again this season. I want to see them as
Yes it was surprise mostly because almost everyone was expecting a Bayern Munich win, this is a team that hasn’t lost any game this season losing in such manner was just poor performance. Aston Villa on the other side are not just any team again since the arrival of Unai Emery they have been doing well and I see them upsetting even the top clubs, with Martinez the goal keeper making the statement that they want to go all the way in the competition we witnessed that against record 10 times Bundesliga champion were also not able to get past them so i expect them to go higher with least prediction been the last 16
