“Everyone is fed up”, Alisson lights up the new format of the Champions League

“For the fans it's incredible: more games, more big games,” the Brazilian admits. “For us players, it's good to play against the best in Europe. But it's always a good idea to add games to the schedule that is not loaded… I'm being a bit ironic. Sometimes, no one asks the players what they think about adding extra games. Our opinion may not matter. But everyone knows what we think. Everyone is fed up. It's about sitting down together and listening to all parties. We have the media and television, UEFA and FIFA, the Premier League, the national competitions.”
