There is a meeting taking place on the 6th and 7th June 2019, where it is expected a proposal about changing the structure of Champions League football will be discussed. Chelsea will hope that any possible changes will affect them in future seasons.

Any changes that may happen as a result of the proposal wouldn't come into effect until the 2024/25 campaign, so there is still some time to wait before any significant difference is felt.
