CL titles worth less? BVB icon Weidenfeller comments

For former BVB goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller, the Champions League triumph in times of corona pandemic is worth no less than in previous years.

“In my opinion, there is no greater success that you can achieve as a footballer after the World Cup. Completely independent of whether it was played in normal mode or, as this year, through a knockout tournament,” said the 40-year-old 2014 World Champion to the kicker. “Players’ greed for the Henkelpott will remain unchanged once the tournament is tapped.”

Due to the Corona break, this year’s winner of the Royal League will be selected in a final tournament in Portugal in knockout matches and not in return matches. FC Bayern München, RB Leipzig, FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Atlético Madrid, Olympique Lyon and Atalanta Bergamo

are the quarter-finals.
