Champions 2026/27: four at home, different sequences

automatic translation of “Champions 2026/27: cuatro en casa, secuencias distintas”

The UEFA published on August 29 the full schedule for the 2026/27 league phase, and on paper the distribution is the same: the 36 clubs will have four home matches and four away matches between September 8 and January 27. But the sequence does not distribute the pressure equally. AEK Athens will have two away matches linked, against Shakhtar Donetsk on October 13/14 and Manchester City on October 20/21, while Real Madrid will alternate home and away during the eight matchdays. It is true that AEK will then have two consecutive home matches, in matchdays 6 and 7. In my view, that alone does not demonstrate that a previous concentration of away matches is compensated: the total can be identical and the competitive sequence very different. Is it enough to count four and four to talk about a balanced schedule, or should UEFA also consider how those matches are grouped? https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/02a8-216cd740d41f-fd3b45ac4a0f-1000--champions-league-league-phase-draw-all-36-teams-learn-their/ https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/02a8-2174c9e9019d-f909a77bd77a-1000--2026-27-champions-league-all-the-league-phase-fixtures/

La UEFA publicó este 29 de agosto el calendario completo de la fase liga 2026/27, y sobre el papel el reparto es igual: los 36 clubes tendrán cuatro partidos en casa y cuatro fuera entre el 8 de septiembre y el 27 de enero. Pero la secuencia no distribuye igual la presión. El AEK Atenas enlazará dos salidas, ante el Shakhtar Donetsk el 13/14 de octubre y el Manchester City el 20/21, mientras el Real Madrid alternará casa y fuera durante las ocho jornadas. Es cierto que el AEK tendrá después dos partidos consecutivos en casa, en las jornadas 6 y 7. A mi juicio, eso no demuestra por sí solo que quede compensada una concentración previa de salidas: el total puede ser idéntico y la secuencia competitiva, muy distinta. ¿Basta con contar cuatro y cuatro para hablar de un calendario equilibrado, o la UEFA debería considerar también cómo se agrupan esos partidos? https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/02a8-216cd740d41f-fd3b45ac4a0f-1000--champions-league-league-phase-draw-all-36-teams-learn-their/ https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/02a8-2174c9e9019d-f909a77bd77a-1000--2026-27-champions-league-all-the-league-phase-fixtures/
