It's more exiting
I think its because to the average viewer, that may only very casually follow a sport, the stakes are more drastic in a knockout. It's a lot of short term excitement.
I’m so le enlightened by le my own le intell- le - gence, fucking faggots
it's pretty entering
It's another push for globalism. At the end of the day media pushes these competitions as higher than others because once they brainwashed you into thinking these competitions are so much better and higher pedigree then money will just float in. Advertisers get on it faster and ultimately this affects the domestic titles as these teams get more revenue for being good a couple matches instead of being consistent through the competition. Making idiots like klopp look like world class for prioritizing the more commercially viable competition over the beauty of lifting every title possible. That is why Eufa wants to kill your countries league and create a super league that will only consist of the top 4 teams of the big 5. So yeah piggie eat the crap they serve you.
because it rarely happens in a league that the underdog wins, last time it was in England with Leicester City
In a knockout competition, an upset can happen more often. Your victory in Euro 2016 is a proof of that, Greece victory in Euro 2004 is another example. Chelsea in 2012 champions league, Inter in 2010, Porto in 2004... see what I mean?
You see yesterday Barcelona lost but can still come back and win the league.
In a UCL knockout they could be out
Test
Because the CL is not a farmers league, unlike France, Germany and England
