UEFA president on possible changes to UCL knockout format

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin will hold talks about retaining the single-game eliminator format that has been used to complete the pandemic-disrupted Champions League and Europa League seasons.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Ceferin said people inside and outside of football had contacted him to say they were "extremely excited" by the final eight format that abandoned the home-and-away two-legged quarterfinals and semifinals.

"I have to say that this system of one match seems more interesting to me than the other system with two legged matches," Ceferin told the AP ahead of Paris Saint-Germain playing Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.
