Sources close to the tender process say the expectation from Uefa and European clubs is to make €5bn (£4.3bn) in media and commercial rights revenue per year in the next cycle – a significant uplift on the £3.3bn per season secured for the current one.

It was always getting more money, right? that's why we fucking pay all that money to watch Football. The one sport that used to be the game of the people, now pays hundreds of dollars to watch. Piracy, piracy and again piracy! It's not my fault that every team expands stadiums, buys $$$ players, seeking from money.

The introduction of a global pick could mean additional subscription costs for armchair viewers as it could potentially split UK rights across even more broadcasters, with TNT Sports and Amazon currently holding the rights.

Everything is good, keep smiling! lol
