Europa League in favour of extending the Champions League, UEFA
president Michel Platini told Wednesday's edition of the daily
Ouest-France.
Asked about possible plans to extend the elite Champions League at the
expense of the second-tier Europa League, Platini said: "There is an
ongoing debate to determine
what form the European competitions will have between 2015 and 2018.
We're discussing it, we will make a decision in 2014. Nothing is
decided yet." One of the options being looked at is the possibility of
extending the final phase of the Champions League from 32 to 64 teams.
The Europa League generates far lower revenue for clubs than the
Champions League and has been criticised since it evolved from the
UEFA Cup in 2009.
What do you think , should UEFA go ahead and scrap it ?
