UEFA boss Caferin in favour of final four in Champions League

UEFA President, Aleksandar Ceferin, has confirmed he’s ‘in favour of the Final 4’ in the Champions League’ and doubts another Super League project will be proposed ‘for at least 10 years.’

There were reports in the New York Times this week that UEFA were considering scrapping the semi-finals of the Champions League, to introduce a week-long event based in one city.

There would be two one-off semi-final matches, all on neutral turf, with the winners meeting in the Final on Saturday.

“I’m in favour of a ‘Final 4’ in the Champions League. It could be great and effective in terms of revenue if done right. But everyone has to give their point of view,” Ceferin told French newspaper L’Equipe.

“We are discussing it, but it is not decided. We liked the ‘Final 8’ last year in Portugal.”

The UEFA President also discussed the disciplinary action taken against Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona, the only remaining clubs who refuse to disavow the Super League.

“I was disappointed to hear of the creation of the Super League, as it was a conspiracy guided by certain clubs. At the end of the day, it’s very positive that it happened, because it helped clarify what the situation is in European football.

“You can never say never, but I don’t think anything similar will be proposed for at least 10 years. The entire football family considers the attitude of the three remaining clubs to be shocking and unacceptable.”
