Champions League group stage to be replaced by 'Swiss system' format starting 2024

The Champions League group stage has become predictable and lacking excitement in recent years.
The new 'Swiss system' aims to address concerns about competitiveness and make the early stages more compelling.
The dominance of superclubs is evident in rising average points for group winners and zero points for some bottom teams.
Changes to qualification have increased teams from stronger leagues while decreasing points for 2nd/3rd place teams.
The new format will kick off in 2024 but its ability to improve competitiveness remains to be seen.
