Alisson Questions New Champions League Format.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has raised concerns about the newly revamped Champions League format, suggesting that while it may benefit fans, players’ opinions are often overlooked. The Brazilian shot-stopper commented on the increased number of fixtures, questioning the impact on players’ well-being.
Speaking on the changes, Alisson said, “For the supporters, amazing. But sometimes nobody asks the players what they think about adding more games.” His remarks reflect the growing concern among players about the physical and mental toll of an increasingly congested football calendar.
“Maybe our opinion doesn’t matter at all,” he added, hinting at the lack of consultation with players regarding the format changes, which see an expanded tournament and more matches per team.
Liverpool will be up against AC Milan later tonight as the quest for European glory begins.
The new Champions League structure has been praised for providing more excitement for fans, but Alisson’s comments have reignited the debate about player welfare and the demands of modern football.
