50,000 empty seats for the Chelsea game. 

 

Games like Bayern v Auckland perhaps might give us a hindsight that making the Champions League for League Champions only could ruin the early rounds. The champions of Armenia, Malta and Latvia etc taking on the Euro big boys would have similar results. 

 

I cant fully recall the European Cup format prior to 1992 - does anyone remember if there was a pre qualifying round or two for the minnows?? I suppose there was also far less minnow countries then as around that time prior to the Champions League the Soviet Union included all the Baltic and Asian Countries (like Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazak etc who chose UEFA) plus Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia still existing.

Auckland are semi-pro, but they won their CL so are entitled to be there. 

 

It's not free, either. Channel have done a deal with DAZN to show some games. DAZN requires a subscription - unless you're @Gonzo79...
