Get ready for chaos on the last night of the European Champions League


For the first time in the new Champions League this season, players and managers use one of these definitive football terms about a game. Pep Guardiola described the Manchester City match as “Our Final”. Unai Emery has said about Aston Villa’s home game against a similar Celtic, while Luis Enrique is just as far as the Paris Saint -Germain showing in Stuttgart.

Finally, there is an acute clarity about what teams have to do, which has not always been in this new group stage. Many players even saw the middle of the campaign quite strange, because the open template was not the shares of any individual race. No more

This last day is what everything is about, and what is made in it.

However, instead of “final”, this yesterday will be contrary to anything that the game has seen so far. Wednesday night will be a real live TV event and a appointment for fans around the world.

It is also a very modern progress on how the place fails to succeed where the best thing happened, unless you are a club supporter. The place to be in front of the screen, because what is as important as it happens elsewhere.

Football has never seen this before. Even on the final day of a Premier League season or a World Cup group stage, real feelings are in the stadium. Here, it only happens everywhere. You can miss this event by being there. People don’t know where to look, and that’s a good thing. The chaos that had previously made this Champions League looks ambiguous, it will now serve it. There are greater consequences for the future of football, making it a potential historical historical watershed.

At the beginning of this process, the Super League, the idea of ​​Silvio Berlusconi was to be “spectacular television” football matches. This is now. This is a television event, not to be in the game.

For their night, broadcasters have had a lot of discussion on how to maximize this. The number of games is great for them but a challenge. A large amount of live information must be displayed in a understandable way. TNT Sports was dry with the conference league and plans to have Ally McCoist in the studio to show its goals. There are even basic supplies how can you present that large 36 -team table on the screen because it changes in real time?

Despite all the just jokes about it, the UEFA and the European Club Society are now smiles. Most of the worries in the middle of the scene – when a senior person complained that they need to return to the old system – have gone with the main content of the stakeholders. These clubs have responded well and most of them feel that this format has fulfilled more European football for teams at all levels as well as more drama.

The numbers there speak for themselves. Sixteen matches of the last 18 races have at least something in this line, and five of them include obvious removal, not just trying to enter the top 24. Hope to reach the top eight. Initial focus on Manchester City (25) V Club Brugge (20), Brest (13th) – Real Madrid (16th), Lille (12th) V Feyenoord (11), Stone Villa (9) V Cleteic (18) and will be. Stuttgart (24) V PSG (22), but there is an opportunity for more layered motivations such as Juventus – Benfica to revive.

UEFA has also been more than Wednesday. Also set up. Each of the past few days has had at least one game that has been beaten, such as Benfica 4-5 Barcelona or PSG 4-2 City.

It is really good for European football that Atlanta, Stone Villa, Feyenoord, Lille and Brest are there. Celtic and PSV Eindhoven, with the admirable that the playoffs play, are supposed to be all, at the same time, with the chance of Club Brugge to eliminate me City.

The British champions are one of the last six finalists – including Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Juventus, PSG and Real Madrid – to endure the problem.

This reflects the diversity and vitality that modern football is desperately needed. This undeniable stage has renewed a colorless opening stage, even if this change still abandons the main problem of financial inequality in elite football.

It is here that there are some precautions for all this excitement as well as MEA’s revisionism of the new competition.

This template has become a qualified success through some of its intrinsic topics.

One of the reasons why there is a lot of tension on this last day is that many clubs are completely disappointed to prevent two extra games from playing. This goal is only important only because of two extra games at this stage of the European Champions League. The new calendar has started to make real costs for the main clubs. Many have tried to deal with it and have witnessed the expansion of fitness issues.

For some clubs, reaching the top eight may be the difference between a challenge, neither or another qualification of the Champions League nor. Free two are suddenly very valuable.

These are not really what it should be. In addition, these are usually not what the form of the form seems to be.

Another important reason for this template has been working so far is that some of the richest clubs have struggled to an unexpected degree. And why is that? Two extra games that cause fitness problems.

This format is almost realized. More games, more fatigue, more error, more drama. But higher and long -term solutions? This is more controversial.

Needless to say, the tedious footballers are not really a sustainable solution to the problem of financial inequality. What will be possible answers? Guardiola has already talked about the need for a larger team, and the main point is that the change was only because the richest clubs wanted more money, which helps to pay those larger squads.

With this sign, this guarantee club like Brest or Villa cannot do it again.

So the senior sports deputy at TNT Sports owner Warner Bruce Discovers, Scott Young, said last week that “judging the success is too early for us.”

Then there is the effect of those who feel tired on the players, because this is not just physical. Frencie de Jong Barcelona recently talked about how mental fatigue, in which he has realized that “prediction is disappeared”.

“When I was young, you are waiting for a European race or an international race for days,” he said.

In other words, many calendars only feel like more content. This has happened to many of the opening phase, but the element itself has another realization.

More games guarantee that some of them are very mathematically exciting, meaning that many DRAB matches – especially in previous months – tend to be forgotten. Two charming television competitions a week are enough, especially when they are all created by Wednesday. As Jung said, you just have to turn on the TV.

It’s a night to enjoy. Whether this is a transformation to celebrate, it will take more than one season to decide.
