The Champions League could become a weekend affair
This would result in split kick-off times which are favourable to engage Asian and American audiences, hence the supposed desire for the move.The claim comes not too long after talk of a European Super League re-emerged earlier this season.In November, Arsenal chiefs confirmed they were among the top clubs involved in discussions about the idea, which was initially made public by Der Spiegel.Such speculation has now quietened down again, although it is possible that switching European football to weekend dates could be the first step towards familiarising fans with the concept of a Super League.
