Platini to reduce England’s Champions League teams to three

Mon, October 23rd 2006

Platini believes no country should be allowed more than three teams in the competition. The Premiership has four in action.. with Italy and Spain also entitled to a quartet, while France and Germany have three apiece.

Here’s a cunning idea: why not only allow champions to enter the Champions League - the clue’s in the trophy’s title isn’t it? Oh, and make it a straight knockout tournament again while you’re at it.

The difference in intensity in the recent Chelsea/Barcelona game from the previous seasons’ encounters is evidence enough that the group stages are a waste of time.
