Dortmund fans also promoted their social media below the banner, where articles detailed why fans opposed the Champions League reform.

The number of teams in this season’s Champions League has been expanded to 36, and the format has been reformed. Each team will play 8 rounds in the first stage. The top eight teams will directly enter the Round of 16, while teams ranked 9th to 24th will compete for the remaining 8 spots in the Round of 16 through two-legged playoffs.
