According to Bild, this intention is dictated by the desire of UEFA to increase the television audience of matches.

It is noted that due to the time difference in some countries it is inconvenient for viewers to follow the broadcasts throughout the work week.

According to the publication, it is also proposed to reform the group stage, creating four groups of eight teams.

Earlier it was reported that UEFA approved the use of VAR in the Champions League with stage 1/8 finals of the current season.
