Quote: “As long as I am here, responsible for the league, there will not be a single match abroad if we are talking about official competitions. Period. This is not up for interpretation. I think at UEFA, decisions are made by more people. But as far as UEFA is concerned, my opinion is quite clear,” Watzke said, as quoted by Reuters.

Reminder: UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin has shared a similar viewpoint, criticizing the notion of holding league matches outside Europe.
