CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BOREDOM AGAIN
After yet more meaningless games in the Champions League this week, one seriously has to question
just how wrong UEFA have gotten it all.
Why is it, that what is supposed to be Europe’s flagship club
competition, is so dour that the big contenders don’t even have to take the initial group stage
seriously? Because it is so easy for the big clubs, with two clear seeded favourites destined to qualify
from each group.
Indeed, the only excitement about the Champions League group stage is the hope
than an underdog is going to break though all of the monotony and battle their way through to the
knockout stage.
But of course, the competition is not designed to work in favour of the smaller
teams who enter it.
It is not designed to work like that because UEFA want big guns occupying all of
the quarter and semi final places of course.
They don’t want Genk v APOEL to try and sell as a
Champions League final.
They want Europe’s best of Barcelona v Bayern Munich
