In the end, storied clubs who pushed for change from UEFA and created turmoil in European soccer got most of what they wanted: More teams, more games and more of them against strong opponents, more money. Now there are 36 teams instead of 32, each playing eight games instead of six, against eight different opponents instead of three. Opening night Tuesday hits a high note. Kylian Mbappé starts his quest for a first title with his third club, the record 15-time European champion Real Madrid that hosts Stuttgart. Mbappé reached the semifinals in 2017 with Monaco and was a beaten finalist in 2020 with Paris Saint-Germain. Ultimately, all 36 teams will be ranked from top to bottom in a single league standings that finishes in January instead of traditional four-team groups that would end in December. UEFA has cleared its midweek schedule to relaunch the marquee club event over back-to-back-to-back nights – six games each through Thursday. The new format The league phase through January is quite simple. Each team plays a balanced schedule of eight games — four at home, four on the road — earning three points for a win and one for a draw. Eight different opponents were allocated in the draw last month by a software program picking two teams from each of four seeding pots. Seeding was based on a team’s UEFA ranking over five years of results in European competitions. Recent champions Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich were among the top seeds. Low-ranked pot four included debutants Girona and Brest, and long-time absentees Aston Villa, Bologna and Stuttgart. Advancing to the knockout phase is more complex, and UEFA suggested teams will need eight points from eight games to stay involved. The top eight in the standings on Jan. 29 go direct to the round of 16 in March seeded Nos. 1-8. Teams placed ninth to 24th in the standings enter a knockout playoffs round in February. Teams 9-16 will be seeded in the draw and play second legs at home against teams who placed from 17-24. The bottom 12 teams in the standings are eliminated. The eight playoff winners advance as unseeded teams in the round of 16, which will be drawn into a set bracket like a tennis tournament. That replaces the old system of separate draws for the quarterfinals and semifinals. Tuesday starts with “Miracle” rematch The new era starts with two 1645 GMT early kickoffs featuring three European Cup winners from the 1980s — Juventus (1985) hosts PSV Eindhoven (1988) and Aston Villa (1982) travels to Young Boys. Both are first-time fixtures between the teams. Also playing are the four teams with the most European Cup and Champions League titles in their 70-season history. While Madrid plays Stuttgart, six-time winner Bayern hosts Dinamo Zagreb looking to extend a 40-game, seven-year unbeaten run in group stages. The standout pairing is AC Milan against Liverpool at San Siro. Milan won the last of its seven European titles in the 2007 final against Liverpool. That was a rematch of the 2005 “Miracle of Istanbul” final when Liverpool rallied from 3-0 down at half time to win the fifth of its six titles. Man City-Inter meet again Wednesday A more recent rematch of another Istanbul final features the current champions of England and Italy. Manchester City, riding Erling Haaland’s hot start to the season, hosts an Inter Milan it beat 1-0 in the 2023 final and is unbeaten in Champions League home games for six years. It is also a night for fresh faces. Girona, which is in the same Abu Dhabi-backed ownership group as Man City, will make its European debut at Paris Saint-Germain. Bologna hosts Shakhtar Donetsk in its first game in the competition since a preliminary round exit 60 years ago. Bologna still plays in the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara that has been its home since 1927 and staged games at the 1934 World Cup. Leverkusen and Atalanta step up Thursday The Europa League finalists last season now rise together to the bigger stage. Bayer Leverkusen’s only loss in a remarkable first full season under coach Xabi Alonso was that Europa final against Atalanta. Now Leverkusen returns to the Champions League at Feyenoord, whose coach last season Arne Slot took the job at Liverpool that was first offered to Alonso. Atalanta hosts Arsenal which has lost captain Martin Odegaard to an ankle injury suffered playing for Norway on Monday. La Liga leader Barcelona with 17-year-old star Lamine Yamal goes to Monaco and the most unlikely fixture of all 18 this week is Brest vs. Sturm Graz. Brest, founded 121 years ago, has never played a European game and Sturm last played in the Champions League 23 years ago. The game is being played at Guingamp, 110 kilometers (70 miles) east of Atlantic port city Brest, whose home stadium is not modern enough. More prize money UEFA has put at least 2.5 billion euros ($2.8 billion) into the prize money fund for the 36 clubs, a 25% raise on last season. The title winner in Munich on May 31 can expect to get more than 160 million euros ($177 million). Each team gets a basic 18.6 million euros ($20.6 million), then 2.1 million euros ($2.3 million) for each league-phase game won and 700,000 euros ($780,000) per draw. Each place in the standings is worth more money with shares of 275,000 euros ($305,000) per place: 36 shares, or 9.9 million euros ($11 million), goes to the team finishing top in January and a single share to the last-place team. Bonuses escalate from 11 million euros ($12.3 million) per team for advancing to each knockout round. Another prize fund of 853 million euros ($950 million) is allocated based on teams’ historical record in UEFA competitions and the value of national and global broadcast deals.

Where to watch Young Boys vs. Aston Villa live stream, TV channel, start time, lineups, prediction for Champions League match Aston Villa will look to kick-start their UEFA Champions League campaign on a high note when they clash Swiss side BSC Young Boys at Wankdorf Stadium on Tuesday. The Lions are set to make their long-awaited return to Europe’s top tier this week, marking their first appearance since their 1983 run to the European Cup quarter-finals, just a year after lifting the trophy with a famous 1-0 triumph over Bayern Munich in Rotterdam. Back among Europe’s elite after securing a fourth-place finish in the Premier League last season, the West Midlands club kicks off their campaign with an away fixture in Switzerland against Young Boys. Under Unai Emery, Villa has hit the ground running this season, picking up three wins from their first four matches. Their latest victory came dramatically, overturning a two-goal deficit to beat Everton on Saturday, leaving them fifth in the league, separated from the top four only by goal difference. Young Boys, on the other hand, have had a mixed season, with their recent form in the Swiss Cup contrasting with their underwhelming league performance. A 4-2 win over Vevey in the cup showcased their attacking prowess, but their league struggles have raised questions about their ability to compete at the highest level. The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Backup goalkeeper Robin Olsen is also on the sidelines. Ollie Watkins should retain his spot in the starting lineup after his excellent performance against Everton, with Jhon Duran to come off the bench in the second half. Aston Villa predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Martinez (GK) — Nedeljkovic, Konsa, Torres, Digne — Onana, Barkley — McGinn, Tielemans, Rogers — Watkins.

However, with Young Boys struggling to find form in the Swiss Super League, they might not be up to the challenge against Aston Villa this midweek. The Villans have their own issues, particularly in defense, where they’ve been less than convincing this season. That said, Young Boys should have enough chances to test Villa in the final third. Nevertheless, the visitors boast enough firepower to grind out a narrow win. The prediction? A hard-fought 2-1 victory for Unai Emery and his men.

Where to watch Young Boys vs. Aston Villa live stream, TV channel, start time, lineups, prediction for Champions League match Aston Villa will look to kick-start their UEFA Champions League campaign on a high note when they clash Swiss side BSC Young Boys at Wankdorf Stadium on Tuesday. The Lions are set to make their long-awaited return to Europe’s top tier this week, marking their first appearance since their 1983 run to the European Cup quarter-finals, just a year after lifting the trophy with a famous 1-0 triumph over Bayern Munich in Rotterdam. Back among Europe’s elite after securing a fourth-place finish in the Premier League last season, the West Midlands club kicks off their campaign with an away fixture in Switzerland against Young Boys. Under Unai Emery, Villa has hit the ground running this season, picking up three wins from their first four matches. Their latest victory came dramatically, overturning a two-goal deficit to beat Everton on Saturday, leaving them fifth in the league, separated from the top four only by goal difference. Young Boys, on the other hand, have had a mixed season, with their recent form in the Swiss Cup contrasting with their underwhelming league performance. A 4-2 win over Vevey in the cup showcased their attacking prowess, but their league struggles have raised questions about their ability to compete at the highest level.

In the end, storied clubs who pushed for change from UEFA and created turmoil in European soccer got most of what they wanted: More teams, more games and more of them against strong opponents, more money. Now there are 36 teams instead of 32, each playing eight games instead of six, against eight different opponents instead of three. Opening night Tuesday hits a high note. Kylian Mbappé starts his quest for a first title with his third club, the record 15-time European champion Real Madrid that hosts Stuttgart. Mbappé reached the semifinals in 2017 with Monaco and was a beaten finalist in 2020 with Paris Saint-Germain. Ultimately, all 36 teams will be ranked from top to bottom in a single league standings that finishes in January instead of traditional four-team groups that would end in December. UEFA has cleared its midweek schedule to relaunch the marquee club event over back-to-back-to-back nights – six games each through Thursday. The new format The league phase through January is quite simple. Each team plays a balanced schedule of eight games — four at home, four on the road — earning three points for a win and one for a draw. Eight different opponents were allocated in the draw last month by a software program picking two teams from each of four seeding pots. Seeding was based on a team’s UEFA ranking over five years of results in European competitions. Recent champions Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich were among the top seeds. Low-ranked pot four included debutants Girona and Brest, and long-time absentees Aston Villa, Bologna and Stuttgart. Advancing to the knockout phase is more complex, and UEFA suggested teams will need eight points from eight games to stay involved. The top eight in the standings on Jan. 29 go direct to the round of 16 in March seeded Nos. 1-8. Teams placed ninth to 24th in the standings enter a knockout playoffs round in February. Teams 9-16 will be seeded in the draw and play second legs at home against teams who placed from 17-24. The bottom 12 teams in the standings are eliminated. The eight playoff winners advance as unseeded teams in the round of 16, which will be drawn into a set bracket like a tennis tournament. That replaces the old system of separate draws for the quarterfinals and semifinals. Tuesday starts with “Miracle” rematch The new era starts with two 1645 GMT early kickoffs featuring three European Cup winners from the 1980s — Juventus (1985) hosts PSV Eindhoven (1988) and Aston Villa (1982) travels to Young Boys. Both are first-time fixtures between the teams. Also playing are the four teams with the most European Cup and Champions League titles in their 70-season history. While Madrid plays Stuttgart, six-time winner Bayern hosts Dinamo Zagreb looking to extend a 40-game, seven-year unbeaten run in group stages. The standout pairing is AC Milan against Liverpool at San Siro. Milan won the last of its seven European titles in the 2007 final against Liverpool. That was a rematch of the 2005 “Miracle of Istanbul” final when Liverpool rallied from 3-0 down at half time to win the fifth of its six titles. Man City-Inter meet again Wednesday A more recent rematch of another Istanbul final features the current champions of England and Italy. Manchester City, riding Erling Haaland’s hot start to the season, hosts an Inter Milan it beat 1-0 in the 2023 final and is unbeaten in Champions League home games for six years. It is also a night for fresh faces. Girona, which is in the same Abu Dhabi-backed ownership group as Man City, will make its European debut at Paris Saint-Germain. Bologna hosts Shakhtar Donetsk in its first game in the competition since a preliminary round exit 60 years ago. Bologna still plays in the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara that has been its home since 1927 and staged games at the 1934 World Cup. Leverkusen and Atalanta step up Thursday The Europa League finalists last season now rise together to the bigger stage. Bayer Leverkusen’s only loss in a remarkable first full season under coach Xabi Alonso was that Europa final against Atalanta. Now Leverkusen returns to the Champions League at Feyenoord, whose coach last season Arne Slot took the job at Liverpool that was first offered to Alonso. Atalanta hosts Arsenal which has lost captain Martin Odegaard to an ankle injury suffered playing for Norway on Monday. La Liga leader Barcelona with 17-year-old star Lamine Yamal goes to Monaco and the most unlikely fixture of all 18 this week is Brest vs. Sturm Graz. Brest, founded 121 years ago, has never played a European game and Sturm last played in the Champions League 23 years ago. The game is being played at Guingamp, 110 kilometers (70 miles) east of Atlantic port city Brest, whose home stadium is not modern enough. More prize money UEFA has put at least 2.5 billion euros ($2.8 billion) into the prize money fund for the 36 clubs, a 25% raise on last season. The title winner in Munich on May 31 can expect to get more than 160 million euros ($177 million). Each team gets a basic 18.6 million euros ($20.6 million), then 2.1 million euros ($2.3 million) for each league-phase game won and 700,000 euros ($780,000) per draw. Each place in the standings is worth more money with shares of 275,000 euros ($305,000) per place: 36 shares, or 9.9 million euros ($11 million), goes to the team finishing top in January and a single share to the last-place team. Bonuses escalate from 11 million euros ($12.3 million) per team for advancing to each knockout round. Another prize fund of 853 million euros ($950 million) is allocated based on teams’ historical record in UEFA competitions and the value of national and global broadcast deals.

In the end, storied clubs who pushed for change from UEFA and created turmoil in European soccer got most of what they wanted: More teams, more games and more of them against strong opponents, more money. Now there are 36 teams instead of 32, each playing eight games instead of six, against eight different opponents instead of three. Opening night Tuesday hits a high note. Kylian Mbappé starts his quest for a first title with his third club, the record 15-time European champion Real Madrid that hosts Stuttgart. Mbappé reached the semifinals in 2017 with Monaco and was a beaten finalist in 2020 with Paris Saint-Germain. Ultimately, all 36 teams will be ranked from top to bottom in a single league standings that finishes in January instead of traditional four-team groups that would end in December. UEFA has cleared its midweek schedule to relaunch the marquee club event over back-to-back-to-back nights – six games each through Thursday. The new format The league phase through January is quite simple. Each team plays a balanced schedule of eight games — four at home, four on the road — earning three points for a win and one for a draw. Eight different opponents were allocated in the draw last month by a software program picking two teams from each of four seeding pots. Seeding was based on a team’s UEFA ranking over five years of results in European competitions. Recent champions Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich were among the top seeds. Low-ranked pot four included debutants Girona and Brest, and long-time absentees Aston Villa, Bologna and Stuttgart. Advancing to the knockout phase is more complex, and UEFA suggested teams will need eight points from eight games to stay involved. The top eight in the standings on Jan. 29 go direct to the round of 16 in March seeded Nos. 1-8. Teams placed ninth to 24th in the standings enter a knockout playoffs round in February. Teams 9-16 will be seeded in the draw and play second legs at home against teams who placed from 17-24. The bottom 12 teams in the standings are eliminated. The eight playoff winners advance as unseeded teams in the round of 16, which will be drawn into a set bracket like a tennis tournament. That replaces the old system of separate draws for the quarterfinals and semifinals. Tuesday starts with “Miracle” rematch The new era starts with two 1645 GMT early kickoffs featuring three European Cup winners from the 1980s — Juventus (1985) hosts PSV Eindhoven (1988) and Aston Villa (1982) travels to Young Boys. Both are first-time fixtures between the teams. Also playing are the four teams with the most European Cup and Champions League titles in their 70-season history. While Madrid plays Stuttgart, six-time winner Bayern hosts Dinamo Zagreb looking to extend a 40-game, seven-year unbeaten run in group stages. The standout pairing is AC Milan against Liverpool at San Siro. Milan won the last of its seven European titles in the 2007 final against Liverpool. That was a rematch of the 2005 “Miracle of Istanbul” final when Liverpool rallied from 3-0 down at half time to win the fifth of its six titles. Man City-Inter meet again Wednesday A more recent rematch of another Istanbul final features the current champions of England and Italy. Manchester City, riding Erling Haaland’s hot start to the season, hosts an Inter Milan it beat 1-0 in the 2023 final and is unbeaten in Champions League home games for six years. It is also a night for fresh faces. Girona, which is in the same Abu Dhabi-backed ownership group as Man City, will make its European debut at Paris Saint-Germain. Bologna hosts Shakhtar Donetsk in its first game in the competition since a preliminary round exit 60 years ago. Bologna still plays in the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara that has been its home since 1927 and staged games at the 1934 World Cup. Leverkusen and Atalanta step up Thursday The Europa League finalists last season now rise together to the bigger stage. Bayer Leverkusen’s only loss in a remarkable first full season under coach Xabi Alonso was that Europa final against Atalanta. Now Leverkusen returns to the Champions League at Feyenoord, whose coach last season Arne Slot took the job at Liverpool that was first offered to Alonso. Atalanta hosts Arsenal which has lost captain Martin Odegaard to an ankle injury suffered playing for Norway on Monday. La Liga leader Barcelona with 17-year-old star Lamine Yamal goes to Monaco and the most unlikely fixture of all 18 this week is Brest vs. Sturm Graz. Brest, founded 121 years ago, has never played a European game and Sturm last played in the Champions League 23 years ago. The game is being played at Guingamp, 110 kilometers (70 miles) east of Atlantic port city Brest, whose home stadium is not modern enough. More prize money UEFA has put at least 2.5 billion euros ($2.8 billion) into the prize money fund for the 36 clubs, a 25% raise on last season. The title winner in Munich on May 31 can expect to get more than 160 million euros ($177 million). Each team gets a basic 18.6 million euros ($20.6 million), then 2.1 million euros ($2.3 million) for each league-phase game won and 700,000 euros ($780,000) per draw. Each place in the standings is worth more money with shares of 275,000 euros ($305,000) per place: 36 shares, or 9.9 million euros ($11 million), goes to the team finishing top in January and a single share to the last-place team. Bonuses escalate from 11 million euros ($12.3 million) per team for advancing to each knockout round. Another prize fund of 853 million euros ($950 million) is allocated based on teams’ historical record in UEFA competitions and the value of national and global broadcast deals.

Where to watch Young Boys vs. Aston Villa live stream, TV channel, start time, lineups, prediction for Champions League match Aston Villa will look to kick-start their UEFA Champions League campaign on a high note when they clash Swiss side BSC Young Boys at Wankdorf Stadium on Tuesday. The Lions are set to make their long-awaited return to Europe’s top tier this week, marking their first appearance since their 1983 run to the European Cup quarter-finals, just a year after lifting the trophy with a famous 1-0 triumph over Bayern Munich in Rotterdam. Back among Europe’s elite after securing a fourth-place finish in the Premier League last season, the West Midlands club kicks off their campaign with an away fixture in Switzerland against Young Boys. Under Unai Emery, Villa has hit the ground running this season, picking up three wins from their first four matches. Their latest victory came dramatically, overturning a two-goal deficit to beat Everton on Saturday, leaving them fifth in the league, separated from the top four only by goal difference. Young Boys, on the other hand, have had a mixed season, with their recent form in the Swiss Cup contrasting with their underwhelming league performance. A 4-2 win over Vevey in the cup showcased their attacking prowess, but their league struggles have raised questions about their ability to compete at the highest level. The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

However, with Young Boys struggling to find form in the Swiss Super League, they might not be up to the challenge against Aston Villa this midweek. The Villans have their own issues, particularly in defense, where they’ve been less than convincing this season. That said, Young Boys should have enough chances to test Villa in the final third. Nevertheless, the visitors boast enough firepower to grind out a narrow win. The prediction? A hard-fought 2-1 victory for Unai Emery and his men.

They had been crowned European champions in 1982. This match follows a dramatic 3-2 win over Everton on Saturday thanks to a screamer from Jhon Durán. The Colombian is proving a very effective super sub, while Ollie Watkins also has his shooting boots on, netting twice in the same game. Their Swiss opponents have been far more consistent Champions League qualifiers, making it through to the competition proper four times in the last six seasons. Young Boys may not be packed with star names, but they are unbeaten in the last six games across all competitions. The Villains' deep run in the Conference League last season will have given them some good European experience though.

Unai Emery’s men head into this contest on a high, having staged a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Everton in the Premier League on Saturday. That performance will have boosted their confidence, as Villa have now notched up three wins from their first four top-flight games of the season, heading to Bern with plenty of momentum. On the other hand, Young Boys, fresh off claiming their sixth Swiss Super League title in seven years, return to the Champions League once again. However, Patrick Rahmen's side are currently struggling domestically, sitting at the foot of the Swiss top-flight standings with three draws and three losses from their opening six matches. BSC Young Boys team news Silvere Ganvoula has been the main source of firepower for Young Boys, netting three of their seven league goals this season. However, he'll face stiff competition for a starting spot from Cedric Itten, Darian Males, and Meschak Elia. Alan Virginius, on loan from Lille, grabbed the headlines by scoring the decisive goal in the second leg against Galatasaray, while Swiss winger Joel Monteiro provides another attacking option for Patrick Rahmen. In goal, first-choice keeper David von Ballmoos made his return from injury, reclaiming his spot from young stand-in Marvin Keller, who stepped aside at the weekend. Young Boys possible XI: Von Ballmoos; Blum, Camara, Zoukrou, Hadjam; Lauper, Niasse; Monteiro, Ugrinic, Colley; Ganvoula Aston Villa team news As Unai Emery prepares to lead his sixth different team into the Champions League, he’ll have most of his key players fit and ready for Tuesday’s clash. However, both Leon Bailey (hamstring) and Matty Cash (thigh) are set to miss out on the action. Though long-term absentees Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara have returned to team training, they’re still not match-fit, and Jaden Philogene continues his journey toward full recovery. One area where Emery could shuffle the deck is at full-back, with both Kosta Nedeljkovic and Ian Maatsen pushing for starting spots. Up front, Ollie Watkins showcased his scoring touch with five goals in last season's Conference League, while Jhon Duran has emerged as a reliable backup. Although Duran has only started three Premier League games since arriving in England, he’s made quite an impact off the bench, with seven of his goals coming as a substitute – and impressively, all three this season have been match-winners. Aston Villa possible XI: Martinez; Nedeljkovic, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen; Onana, Tielemans; McGinn, Ramsey, Rogers; Watkins The new Champions League format kicks off Tuesday after more than six years of planning, one failed proposal and one Super League launch fiasco. In the end, storied clubs who pushed for change from UEFA and created turmoil in European soccer got most of what they wanted: More teams, more games and more of them against strong opponents, more money. Now there are 36 teams instead of 32, each playing eight games instead of six, against eight different opponents instead of three. Opening night Tuesday hits a high note. Kylian Mbappé starts his quest for a first title with his third club, the record 15-time European champion Real Madrid that hosts Stuttgart. Mbappé reached the semifinals in 2017 with Monaco and was a beaten finalist in 2020 with Paris Saint-Germain. Aston Villa are set to make its long-awaited return to the UEFA Champions League after several seasons away, competing in the newly revamped format of the prestigious tournament. Following a strong 2023/2024 campaign in the Premier League, Villa will look to carry that momentum into Europe’s toughest competition, eager to showcase their best on the continental stage. Their first test comes against Swiss side Young Boys, who earned their spot in the group stage after navigating a challenging qualifying process.
