The day after UEFA announced an expanded Champions League from 2024, president Aleksandr Ceferin addressed their annual conference in Vienna and applauded the defeat of the "arrogant and contemptuous" Super League plan which threatened the future of Europe's elite club competition.
On Tuesday, European football's governing body announced a series of Champions League reforms that have been agreed over weeks of talks with leagues and clubs to stop further threats of abreakaway tournament that erupted in April last year.
A reformatted group stage, currently six games per team, has been reduced from a planned 10 rounds to eight, and planned backup places for teams based on historical performance have been replaced with a qualification method that rewards the most successful nations more recently in European football.
