LISBON - Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin says the single-game knockout format, used in the Champions League this year from the quarter-final onwards, has produced more exciting football than the usual two-legged games and could be revisited in the future.
"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 in an interview. "More exciting matches for sure 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."
The tournament was played over 11 days and clearing space in the congested international calendar would be another obstacle to overcome but Ceferin is clearly intrigued by the possibilities.
