In the Champions League, Europa League and League Conference, the penalty shootout would thus become the standard in the event of equality after the regulation time of the return match, on the direct elimination phase.
In the Coupe de France, if not in the final, this provision was taken from 2020. And no one complains. Nor among the players, who spares a few minutes of play in already busy seasons; Nor among the broadcasters, who do not have to shake up their program grid at the raised foot.
Not before 2027
“” Several European football decision -makers have been favorable to this measure », Admits an UEFA official quoted by the aforementioned British media. “” Informal discussions are carried out “Confirms another framework, while nuancing them:” There is nothing done now, we discuss. This is permanently the case on several subjects in order to advance European football. »»
For sure, it will at least have to wait until 2027, and the next European TV rights cycle, to attend such a revolution which will have to be ratified anyway by the Executive Committee of the Continental Instance.
