Claudio Ranieri got some work done?
Unfair advantage to the home teams and it would be even more daft if they played it on neutral grounds..
@……: it would all be played in the country where the final will be held. There would be no home teams … unless a team(s) from that country make it to the final stages. So there would be no unfair advantage. Dublin/Ireland could host these and it would be amazing. I liked the new format and would be happy to see the change.
With 60%+ of tickets at recent finals going to UEFA’s ‘corporate partners’ and the like, I don’t see this as a good step for the future. It’s basically excluding every day fans and diehard fans of clubs.
