UEFA hint at possible Champions League change
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has hinted that this season’s single-leg knockout format in the Champions League could return in the future.
Due to complications amid the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s competition was concluded with a drastic change to the usual format from the quarter-final stage onwards.
The traditional two-legged ties were scrapped in favour of one-off knockout ties in neutral venues in Portugal.
“We were forced to do it but in the end we see that we found out something new. So we will think about it in the future for sure,” Ceferin told Reuters.
“(There has been) not so much tactics. If it is one match, if one team scores then the other has to score as soon as possible. If it is two-legged system then there is still time to win the next match.
“More exciting matches for sure but of course we also have to think about the fact that we have less matches and broadcasters (can) say ‘you don’t have as many matches as before, this is different’ so we will have to discuss when this crazy situation ends.”
