Number of countries

[edit]

Is this the lowest number of countries ever represented in the "C"L last 16? Might be worth mentioning if a source can be found. 2A02:C7D:159:6A00:21D1:2D51:91F6:80F3 (talk) 20:11, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I believe so. It is also the first time since it was expanded to a Round of 16 to include teams only from the top five country in coefficient. La Fuzion (K lo K) 13:15, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Match order

[edit]

Why are we ordering the matches in this way? We always did it chronologically at least up until my recent memory, so why change? It doesn't help any reader to see the matches presented in the draw order. The draw order may be preserved in the table, but the list of matches should be done chronologically so people can actually find a particular match without having to use some sort of mental gymnastics. – PeeJay 15:28, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prior to a few seasons ago, matches were divided by first/second legs, not ties, so chronological order made most sense in that case. With matches now divided by tie, I think it makes most sense to have them ordered the same as in the overview table, which uses the draw order. S.A. Julio (talk) 16:44, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. I have the same S.A. Julio's thought.--95.234.98.93 (talk) 16:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Good as it is now. There was a discussion back than to use the way we do now. Makes the most sense. Kante4 (talk) 18:29, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In what way does it make sense though? I'm not saying it doesn't, I'd just like it if people could back up their assertions, especially anonymous editors. – PeeJay 22:33, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It seems more intuitive to maintain internal consistency by having one method of ordering the ties within the article. S.A. Julio (talk) 23:13, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
