Should the limit the Group stage of the Champions League be limited to just 16 teams each season?

Yes
In order to improve quality and reduce quantity!

I see nothing wrong with the CL as it is.

Also quality is high and quantity means more money

if theres is 16 teams in the champions league there will be around 1 team in each league going to the champions league and it will leavue teams with nothing to play for

“Michel Platini has the right goals in terms of broadening the scope of the Champions League with more teams from ‘lesser leagues’. But I think he is wrong in his way of doing things. The Champions League should be expanded, with the UEFA Cup being scrapped to make room. The top five or six from the big leagues could then qualify, as well as the top two from the weaker leagues. The competition could be double in size, to 16 groups of four teams, after the initial qualifying stage, and a new round of 32 introduced after the group stage. More Champions League places for lower-ranked clubs would also strengthen domestic leagues.”
