The Chronicle of Jonathan Lange: the Champions League must also be deconfined


A Chronicle signed Jonathan Lange.

A Premier League tune will float over the club football epilogue this season. For the third time in history, two English clubs face each other to lift the Champions League.

Since 2000, more than one in three C1 final has been played between two teams from the same league, with the Premier League leveling this year in their match with La Liga at 3-3, Serie A and the Bundesliga have had also entitled to their 100% Italian and German final. Nothing more logical in the end for the four major championships which since 2018 have each placed four teams on the starting line of the group phase, i.e. half of the field.

The concentration of the great nations of the game does not prevent the appearance of winds of freshness from traditional powers such as Leipzig or Atalanta have shown in recent years. It simply makes the advent of a new dynasty from elsewhere much more complicated.

If the Superleague, fortunately stillborn, was a closed competition that said its name, the Champions League is also folded in on itself by reducing the uncertainty of sport by the gains it offers its regulars.
