Duels familiar from group stages

Yesterday night and today were performed the draw for the three international club competitions.
Beginning from this season there is a new format of play that is valid for all events: the group stages are completely abandoned / instead of 32 clubs 36 will participate in a single table / every club that would finish in position 01 to 08 is going to participate in round of 16, from 09 until 24 there will be play-off matches for that first knockout round (phase of 16) while those clubs who are placed from 25 or lower are going to say good bye to everyone (without the possibility of being transferred to other leagues), and each one will have various date of finishing (for this group part):

For Champions league and  Europa league every club is going to play 4 matches before home fans and 4 duels as guests. In total 144 matches awaits us, and completion is going to be 29 (for the first) or 30 January 2025 (for the second competition).

At Conference league will be played 108 duels because clubs will play 6 times with 3 different rivals (3 home and 3 away games). Everything has to end on 19 December.

The knockout phase starts from February of next year. With the draw, clubs have find out their opponents, and those can be seen on the website of the organization. Now their special software only have to tell us the whole schedule as well as kick off times, and that is going to be released on 31 August.
