There will be some changes for the current season of the European Champions League, given the start of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in November.
Due to the World Cup, group stage matches from September 6 to November 2 will be “compressed” to less than two months, which is the fastest period for a group stage in the current tournament system.
Likewise, the final date of the competition will be moved to June 10 at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, which has a capacity of over 75,000 spectators.
Due to the war in his country, the Ukrainian club Shakhtar (Donetsk) announced that they would play their matches of the tournament at the Warsaw National Stadium in neighboring Poland.
The brightest stars who will take part in the tournament for the first time: Brazilian Rafinha (Barcelona), his compatriot Richarlison (Tottenham), Frenchman Aurelian Chuamini (Real Madrid) and Spaniard Marc Cucurella (Chelsea).
