Champions League: Football fans over the moon after realising highlights after back on free-to-air TV


GLEEFUL football fans were chuffed to realise that Champions League highlights have returned to free-to-air TV.

It’s been NINE years since Europe’s top competition left ITV and moved over to TNT Sport.

Most football lovers believed it was travesty, with many unable or un- willing, to pay the £53.99 monthly subscription for TNT Sport.

Although live European matches have not returned to free TV, fans can tune into a Match of the Day-style show on the BBC from 10.40pm.

A brief match-by-match highlight compilation is also available from 10pm on the BBC website as well.

Both the show and online package can be viewed very Wednesday.

Aston Villa’s incredible 1-0 triumph over Bayern Munich at Villa Park was the first game to be shown this week.

Emery’s men went ahead via super-sub Jhon Duran’s 79th minute audacious off-the-cuff lob.

Liverpool also retained their 100 per cent record in the competition this season with a routine 2-0 win over Bolonga with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mo Salah.

And fans were thrilled to learn that they could catch all of the action for free.

One wrote on X: “Champions League highlights on BBC is possibly the best thing ever.”

A second said: “The show is quite a breath of fresh air. Really good sampled footage of the games.”


A third said: “BBC iPlayer has got the Champions League highlights of you didn’t know!”

Another wrote: “It died off when they took it off ITV. Hopefully bringing highlights to the BBC will be the start of the comeback but wishful thinking.”

While another added: “Feels so strange watching Champions League games and analysis on the BBC. Thank god for that.”

Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan seem to take turns hosting, alongside pundits Nedum Onuoha and German footballer Thomas Hitzlsperger.

Fans were also pleased to see some fresh faces, with one writing: “It can’t always be likes of Micah Richards, Danny Murphy and Jamie Redknapp.”
