Manchester United and Newcastle United's Champions League exits are likely to cost the Premier League an extra Champions League spot next season. |
From next season, 36 clubs will take part in the Champions League and will be grouped together in one big league table, as opposed to 32 teams being divided into eight groups of four. Every team will play eight matches, four home and four away, but all against different opponents. After this stage, the top eight teams go straight to the last 16, while teams placed between ninth and 24th in the table move on to a play-off round. |
