UEFA is seriously considering removing extra time from the Champions League play-off stages next season.
Idman.biz reports that this was reported by the German publication "Bild".
If the overall score is tied after a two-legged match, the teams may determine the winner directly in a penalty shootout. This aims to reduce the burden on players somewhat.
In addition, it is expected that a decision will be made that the teams that finish the league stage in the top "eight" will also play the return matches at home in the 1/4 finals and semi-finals.
Also, in the old format, clubs from the same country could only meet starting from the 1/4 finals. It is reported that this rule, which has now been abolished, will be reinstated.
