See…Is the new Champions League system meant to stop Real Madrid from winning? | sport
A joke by Italian goalkeeper legend Gianluigi Buffon when he was asked about the new Champions League system and its complications was enough to set off a football bomb.
Italy, the former goalkeeper of Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, who won the European Football Association (UEFA) President’s Award, about the goals of the new system for the main continental championship, was shocked.
“The first goal of the new Champions League system is to prevent Real Madrid from winning the continental competition again,” said Buffon. When the broadcaster tried to confirm his point, Buffon laughed and said it was a “joke”.

“Winning goes to the best and Real Madrid have always been the best in recent years,” continued the 2006 world champion with his country’s national team.
The player, who has yet to win a championship title despite his football career spanning more than 20 years, concluded by saying, “Let’s see if Real Madrid is able to assert its superiority in the new system, losing to Real Madrid to win the continental championship crown.
The draw for the league stages under the new European Champions League system has led to firefights among Europe’s top players.
