Each clubs would engage in eight matches before advancing to the knockout rounds. This innovative proposal not only expands the match count for UEFA but also extends the opportunity for a Saudi Pro League clubs to shine on the European stage.

And that’s not all. Should UEFA embrace this idea, football legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Neymar could grace European fields once again.
