On Tuesday, the UEFA Champions League semi-final stage will kick off with a match between Madrid's "Real" and London's "Chelsea". Prior to the first match in Madrid, "Chelsea" coach Thomas Tuchel spoke about the recently changed tournament format. "I don't know if I like the changes, as everything I see is just more matches. It would be difficult to be excited about such changes. Amid discussions about the Super League, we forgot to talk about the changed format of the Champions League. Did anyone ask for the opinions of coaches and players? I don't think so. We have the Nations League, many matches in national championships, and in the summer players are waiting for the European Championship. Who can withstand such a workload? On top of that, in the "Premier" League we only have three substitutions. In summary, I am not satisfied with the new Champions League format", Tuchel said at a press conference.
