UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin says the European Football governing body might consider adopting the single-game knockout format for the Champions League in the future as a result of the Covid-19 inspired experiment in Lisbon, Portugal.
“We were forced to do it but in the end we see that we found out something new. “Ceferin said
“So we will think about it in the future for sure.”
However, even UEFA they want to change the format, they will have to wait until 2024-25.
Ceferin has been quite impressed with how open the games have been and added:
“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.”
“But of course we also have to think about the fact that we have less matches and broadcasters say ‘you don’t have as many matches as before, this is different’ – so we will have to discuss when this crazy situation ends.”
