UEFA’s latest idea to spoil all our fun
MANCHESTER CITY have provided some incredible afternoons and nights over the last decade or so and last Tuesday’s thriller against Real Madrid was one of the best. Nobody who was there will ever forget it. We should not be surprised, then, that if UEFA have their way, it won’t happen too many more times from here. UEFA wish to remove home and away semi-finals from the Champions League format and instead take the four remaining teams to a corner of Europe to play two one-off games and then a final in the space of five days. UEFA are ready to call it a Festival of Football. I could think of better names.
