Manager Ange Postecoglou said: “I think it is interesting. Obviously, early stages and it will be interesting to see how it develops.
“I said it before, just a gut feeling that there will be more in the games.
“You know in the group stage, after about the second or third game, you kind of knew who were going through so there were maybe some dead-rubbers in there, but all games will be meaningful because all teams will have something to play for.
“It’s not that standard home and away, you will play eight different teams, eight different styles of football, so it’s an interesting challenge.
“I guess at the end we’ll see if it’s had the effect everyone wanted it to have by being more exciting all the way through rather than the knock-out phase, but the most important thing is we’re in it and because we’re in it, we’ve got a chance.”
