The eyebrows were raised when UEFA presented its new formats in the Champions League, European League and Europe competitions. The “Swiss model”, which this season was scrapped in the league system this season, represented a huge change in the status quo, which some are still not sure.
Others love this by praising the model in which the teams play some bands at home and others, without their legs. Among them is Owen Hargreaves, who won Champions League twice like a player with Bayern Munich AND Manchester United.
Owen Hargreaves: “The bands use the advantage at home to draw impressive results”
“The Champions League this season was really crazy and I think that the new format played a key role in this,” says Hargreaves, speaking on behalf of TNT Sports to promote watching live sport in pubs. “Teams use the advantage at home to draw impressive results compared to large pistols – just look Feyenoord Against Bayern in the last round. They know that they also do not have to go out to the Allianz arena so that they can put everything in this match at home and they pulled it out. “
Hargreaves believes that nothing can compete with football when it comes to introducing fans into pubs. “This campaign is important,” he says Fourfour. “My brothers had pubs in Canada. At this time of year, sport can be huge for the industry, because there is often a crisis in the sector. Fortunately, sport gives people a reason to leave the house and meet friends in a pub.
“There is always a temptation to stay and watch games, especially considering that people have access to TV matches, but there is nothing like watching a game in a pub with friends.
“Especially in the case of great food and atmosphere offered by most residents. I would probably say that sport is one of the last things that people are still meeting to watch live nowadays, and these Champions League, the European League and the European Conference League, with the drama they served, are a great excuse. It has been crazy so far. “
