Sky net Champions League deal

Last updated : 24 September 2002 By www.followfollow.com
Sky have pulled off a superb deal for them and for armchair Champions League followers.

From next season, for three seasons, they will show 14 of the 16 group matches each week LIVE through their interactive service - 6 on a Tuesday and all 8 on a Wednesday.  ITV will screen the other 2 Tuesday matches.

Following the group stage (only one group stage next year, then the last 16 play a knock-out), Sky will cover most games and ITV a couple.  Effectively means that EVERY Champions League match next season from the group stage onwards will be live.

So instead of the boring drivel served up by Liverpool, you can be watching AC Milan v Bayern Munich instead.
