They need to find a middle ground, seriously. It’s like West Brom when they kept flitting between the premier league and the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I know they won’t, but it would be great if they kept the 1 off match knockout games for future years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to make it a tighter format, make it a proper mini tournament, 1 week somewhere, London is an easy example, semit finals at arsenal and spurs grounds on Wednesday and Thursday, final at Wembley on Saturday, fans would pile in to that Fans who only get to home games obviously suffer but it could work and be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say if it wasn't at London, it was to be held in Berlin, not sure how I can afford it if Villa makes it all the way to the champions league final in 3 years time. But i agree one off knock out is more entertaining than the 2 legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 That's no different from what it currently is though Theoretically in 3 years time the final could be in Berlin, villa would have a home game vs Real Madrid, an away game vs Real Madrid and then a trip to berlin Instead they have 5 days in Berlin with 2 games there The hotel cost and beer money is the extra cost, for someone who would go to all 3 games in the normal format it would probably be cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t necessarily thinking about the mini tournament, but a 1 off game drawn out of a hat at one of the teams grounds (like the FA cup). It’s so exciting because the prize is so big for a 1 off game. CL having every tie home and away makes it far more strategic than 90 minutes winner takes all, decided on the night.

sne Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Kinda feel bad for the linesmen who have to try and keep up with M'bappé and Alphonso Davies tonight. Hope they have oxygen tanks ready at the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
