A number of top clubs made an offer to hold the crucial matches of the Champions League play-off on weekends.

Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona have taken the initiative to hold matches 1/4 and 1/2 of the Champions League final on the weekend.

UEFA is ready to consider such a concept and starting from 2021 to put the matches of the Champions League play-offs on weekends.



The motives for such rearrangements are the prospect of a significant increase in television rights. Holding matches in the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday will allow residents of North and South America to watch football in the morning, and residents of Asia - in the evening.

Victims in this situation can be Europeans, for whom the timing of matches can be less convenient. Another major drawback will be the load of calendars and the shift of all terms of domestic championships.
