Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has already made his feelings on the Champions League clear as plans for a revamp of the tournament move closer.
According to a report from The Athletic, from the 2024-25 season, proposals would mean that greater security would be offered to the likes of Chelsea in qualifying for the tournament. The number of teams would be raised from 32 to 36, with the four extra slots given to a side that did not make the domestic requirements to qualify but have performed historically well in the tournament.
Having won the famous trophy twice in the last 10 years, Chelsea would be well placed to take one of those spots if they were to finish outside the top four. Other changes will see a 'Swiss model' introduced, with the group stage replaced by one league table before entering into the knockout stages.
