Barcelona's sporting director Deku shared his opinion about the Champions League rules. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Last season, the Catalans lost in the semi-finals to Milan's Inter with an aggregate score of 6:7. According to Deku, there was unfairness in the away matches last season.
Based on the overall stage results, strong teams were not given the opportunity to play at home in the quarter-final and semi-final matches. He believes that strong teams should have played the return matches at home.
Before the current season, the organizers made changes to the rules, and now the situation should be different. There is always room for improvement.
Barcelona started the new season of the Champions League with a 2:1 victory against Newcastle. This result creates a positive foundation for the team to advance to the next stages.
Deku's statements were widely covered by the Spanish media. Overall, improving the competition rules serves to increase the rivalry between teams even further.
