. if it is for me. is for. beethoven is for. beethoven is for. beethoven is for everyone. but in 22020. 150th anniversary on. well fans. are ball champions league and you want. to thank you.

all for its very very sorry very sad on this really really excited because we're going to live been in the champions league and tennessee what's not to be excited about let's go let's go there you know. all right. 51st. finally arrived in lisbon we landed it's champions league time i'm so excited does it get any better than this oh my god ok to mix up what's going on you want. it to go. made.

thanks to the coronavirus situation this year champion's league looks a little different now in theory it's actually pretty cool because it's an 8 team many tournaments instead of the standard 2 leg home and away tie let's actually go back and look at why they even started doing this home an away game which in theory makes a lot of sense now one the tournament 1st came to be a long long time ago wasn't it in terms of a gives the european cup it was kind of ridiculous to think that. people from let's say parties i'm baldridge we're going to go to london to watch a match and the money came from the 304050000 people that were going to be in the stadium so to take away the home team advantage they decided to play 2 legs one home and the other pole so everyone was happy now i can only see thinking with all the t.v. money that comes from football are the fans irrelevant to you when. you

took us to where. i am working actually i'm watching the pre-match press conference this is what football's come to nowadays. but this is literally happening to kilometers away from us. but you have to wonder to make. you know you had to make this you know what i'm kind of over this the questions are shit and i was watching the training and the 15 minutes of open training they filmed for us to watch was literally the warm up. this is a little bit hard can you get me to drink. i don't think you. can leave there was supposed to be 16000 fans coming to lisbon for this tournament

we've been here almost a week and i've literally seen like 4 or 5 you know i let's go to the center and see if we can find any of them. people like that nobody here is really talking about it. no fans and chanting is so much more than just the game it's the build up it's them and the boy and all the fans coming from all over. the event happening you know that as we stand with a man can't help it win the game not that absent that makes football special so i'm in an apartment.

hey guys i'm here with my friend telfair he works for a id and he has an accreditation to get into the matches something that most journalists right now would probably kill you for imagine close your eyes and dream yourself into a world without corona and have a tournament here in the same place at the same time with the same teams 200000 crazy fans running around in big jerseys and against terrorist cheering making big grew at least in the city i would love to see that but it's totally different what do you think that it shows because there's a big discussion especially in germany about this football with the fans and it's taking away the soul of football and the fact that they're doing this and there's no fans that show that they're not important fans or i don't think so i think they try to rescue the whole thing i think for a lot of clubs this money smaller clubs like me all. they need the money

from the champions league they need the money from the football they are not making their money by selling tickets to the fans they make their money to buy all the expensive messy players. bye bye bye bye setting t.v. rights and if the t.v. is not is not paying the money then we will not see football on that level again. oh. so despite the unfortunate circumstances surrounding this year's champions league which we all know the lack of fans the lack of atmosphere it's still a pretty mouth watering clash because we have 2 teams who have absolutely steamrolled football up until this point now both p.s.g. and byron would complete the trouble if they won this year's champions league p.s.g. would win their 1st champions league because this is their 1st appearance in the final and byron this is kind of like what they strive for because they win the

bundesliga every year but they haven't been able to win in europe so it's kind of like ok you guys are good in the bundesliga but you never do anything on a world level so they're a little bit obsessed with this is well now both of these teams are undefeated in their last i think like 12 games so we're in for some pretty quality football hold . of there's a little more going on than the last couple days but still close like good c german regionality good game let's talk to some friends. 'd i'm. glad because look back and we are still special friends and demand to meet to claim simone so you know and i don't know i wish something very good for tonight was so we're going to lay shame to richard butler because yes. you see fans and we're the by and so you know what i think is funny is that like the typical journalists who

are not like. on the ground with the fans interacting and then going to games i usually like just in the stadium like hello i'm reporting here for whatever whatever it. takes down the fine print. should you go so you give me just how you term. limits. and i was 1st to. i am going to get all the fun notes from. 97 to 70 now you know every final every final i'm very very. sad. my 1st line of thought i could conceive. oh. right so for now this is pretty much as good as it gets

all the journalists are lining up to doing their lives their friends kind of getting a little bit nervous as you can see people are trying to get a glimpse of anything making. him hostage citing things going all day. finding the building prangs. to this weekend i don't. know where we're going to once again. but we would like to look into it because i. know you guys are from munich right we're from germany from jamie munich fans yeah why did you guys come here if you knew that you couldn't get into the stadium. would prefer the original because there we like to support elegy and to be seen just appalled is also possible from all sides of the stadium so that's why we're here do you mind if we come with you guys to watch the

game you know. the ones they do the most fun. they're not the biggest numbers but they're definitely the loudest. all right so. it's not the stadium we plan to find and police would like to get. c c

your go go by but if it was going to. get this you know that you know i could never. go through because you know much. like the neck down. here i don't want to go oh let's all go and. if you don't. don't fish don't. find out you're not school joy no it's not as big a bright as last year but there's still a party this year. oh ok. so i think it's one of the business of my life yes that's your enjoying was

a hard body image and find you live so as happy as i am that champions league is back we got to watch them exciting games of the one game knockout i hope this never ever happens again because if you look around you would never be able to know that byron just wanted champions league. neighborhood because football is about so much more than just those 90 minutes on the pitch it's about the passion that unites people everywhere. and make them travel across the continent just to watch their team even though they can't even go in the stadium and you know what i'm talking about because nothing is ever going to get the substitute the goosebumps you get when you hear you'll never walk alone at anfield or you jump for joy with the yellow while dortmund or you watch your team win the trouble in an empty was been. the.
