no it is not, it is SUPPOSED to be about the best teams from every country in europe pitting their wits against each other. the CL has become a fat,bloated,cash-cow for only the richest clubs and the sonner platini's changes come about the better. for me if you are your countries champion then you should go straight into the champions league and the 2nd or 3rd placed teams should have to gain their entry. it all got fucked when the 4th team from the richest countries gained entry

I want the Champions League to consist only of champions and vice champions, like it used to be. This system is pathetic and laughable when teams which finished 3rd or 4th have a chance to win the competition. 
once they do cut it back the UEFA cup will once again become a worthy tournament that the big teams who just miss out on the CL will dream of winning. top 2 at most should be allowed entry into the CL, no moreI want the Champions League to consist only of champions and vice champions, like it used to be.

Not only that, but to win Champions League nowadays, you have to play 13 freaking macthes, 15 if you go to 3rd round of qualifiers. No wonder players are all washed up after playing 50 matches in a season. Something has to be done.

15+38+6= around 60 matches at total, League, cup and CL. That shouldn't be a problem for players earning millions of dollars per year, and these squads usually have 20 players at least, rotating them in all the competitions would make 40 players at max for players, not a big deal if you ask me.
Like Bozi said it mostly benefits the rich clubs out there, but also I don't want shitty teams get involved in CL "For the sake of football", but yeah, 4 teams from a league is a joke, 2 was good, but 3 is better, Arsenal, Man.utd, Chlesea, Juve, Milan, Inter, Barcelona, Real, Sevilla/Valencia, this looks better imo, I mean stronger competition. I miss the days of 24 teams, I think that was the perfect one, I am not sure about Platini's two-leg competition style.

who says you won't get matches like Bayern vs Chelsea? If these smaller teams are as poor as believed then (most) bigger teams should have no trouble getting past them the the knockout stages and thus give the big matches that people want. And if a smaller teams happens to make it into the quarter or semi finals than that makes the competition more exciting with the presence of a minnow.
Juventus will be in Pot 3 if all seeded teams of the third qualifying-round reach the group stage. So we'll only in Pot 2 if a lot of good teams fail.
Here is the list before the last match day in Spain, Italy, Germany and France: http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/uefa/seedcl2008.html

Watch out for the other teams! Real Madrid could go into Pot 2, Bayern is a difficult opponent, too. The worst case: ManU, Real Madrid, Juventus and Celtic.
Rangers are ranked in the same Pot as Juventus, because they played the last two years in CL/-UEFA-Cup. In the last two years Juventus got only the average value of the Italy points.
