I actually think I am a fan of it - this new system. I don't know whether that is down to the fact that Villa are my team and it is their first season back in - apart from tonight they are flying high.
I do actually like it. It gives you a chance to play [different] teams. You haven't got a group of death, like you would usually have, when one massive team that is going to go out of that group.
I just think it gives an opportunity to go and see some of these other teams as well that people might not think much about.
There are a lot of teams in countries where people don't watch that football, but have actually got good quality. In the Europa League and Conference League there are actually some really good footballing sides. I think that is why it is important that the Champions League sees that as well.
