Fans Left Fuming as Champions League Draw Leaves Them Scratching Their Heads
The Champions League draw took place today, and it’s safe to say that fans are still trying to wrap their heads around the new format. The event, which saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Gianluigi Buffon join UEFA officials to draw the 2024/25 Champions League campaign, has left many scratching their heads.
The draw itself was a bit confusing, with Buffon drawing the Pot 1 teams and Ronaldo pressing a button to computerize the rest of the group. As a result, teams like Manchester City have been paired with Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, while Liverpool will host Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen.
But it’s not just the draw itself that’s causing controversy – it’s the format itself. Fans are taking to social media to express their frustration, with many saying that the new system is "confusing as f**k" and "100% rigged".
One fan joked that Ronaldo "couldn’t look any less interested" in the draw, while another said they’re still trying to understand the new format. "I can’t be the only one who doesn’t understand this new champions league format… still confused," they wrote.
The debate surrounding the Champions League format is nothing new, but the introduction of a computerized draw has raised questions about the integrity of the competition. With so many teams and players affected by the draw, it’s no wonder that fans are up in arms.
