Surely sports in general and football in particular are the fields that create the most emotions for people. It is not too much, if we say emotions are the most important factor in helping a tournament succeed. Success means creating great attraction. And the attraction, of course, has to come from the matches.
But people cannot demand that every match be a fiery 90 minutes of attack, with many goals. There is no shortage of 0-0 draws, 1-0 victories, or even boring developments... However, there are still small details, but still enough weight to make the match the focus. That is the reason why the UEFA Champions League can affirm its brand, no matter how the format changes, no matter how technology is intervened. It is enough to make fans, in many places, follow at different times around the world.
Although "small details" create attraction, great interest, and even become a "trend" for a while, especially on social networks. A referee's mistake, a beautiful move, a moment of splendor, a controversy, or at dawn on March 13 (Vietnam time) is the matter of whether Julian Alvarez touched the ball twice or not in the penalty shootout between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. Alvarez had a trial period at Real Madrid and Marcos Llorente - another player who also missed a penalty, won the Champions League with Los Blancos. That is an expensive detail...
The details that create controversy and controversy are the explosion of trends, making the attraction of the tournament endless. Of course, the Madrid derby is not alone in creating details for the Champions League to maintain its huge appeal. Fans saw how dramatic PSG's victory over Liverpool was, how destroyed Arsenal were against PSV, how much Bayern Munich outperformed Leverkusen in the European playground or Aston Villa brought excitement when becoming a phenomenon of this season...
And in the near future, just thinking about Kylian Mbappe being able to reunite with PSG, Marco Asensio being able to reunite with Real Madrid, or even the English derby (Arsenal vs Aston Villa) in the semi-finals, then the Barcelona - Bayern Munich big match witnessed the day coach Hansi Flick met his old team again... fans felt the attraction.
With V.League, there are also exciting, tense, dramatic matches, but sometimes they are alone and not enough to repel the not-so-happy details. Therefore, only when there are factors that create the value of each match and tournament, will the appeal increase...
