*What do UEFA's Champions League changes mean for fans*?
European football's governing body has made slight changes to the kick-off times of games, qualification process, coefficient rankings and financial distribution of their flagship competition and confirmed its intention to bring the new format into use from 2018 to 2021.
As part of the new system, the four highest-ranked leagues - Spain, England, Germany and Italy - will see their top four teams go straight into the group stage of the competition, as will the Europa League winners, whereas they can currently go into the final play-off.
Meanwhile, the club coefficient will be changed to ensure clubs are seeded based on their own records in the Champions League over the last five years and UEFA says there will be no added weight for previous titles.
