The accustomed Champions League viewers usually tune in to TV3 + when the prestigious club tournament is to be seen.

However, this is not possible on Wednesday evening. For a rare occasion, TV3 Sport has chosen not to show the Champions League on TV3 +. The return matches can instead be seen on TV3 Max (Lille-Chelsea) and TV3 Sport (Juventus-Villarreal).

In the first showdown of the 1/8 finals, Chelsea and Lille were otherwise on TV3 +.

The ‘big’ channel on Wednesday shows the Premier League match between Arsenal and Liverpool.

– We are so privileged that we have an incredible number of rights. Tomorrow we have two return matches in the Champions League, and a Premier League match, which is also insanely interesting and exciting, says Benjamin Munk Lund, sports manager at TV3 Sport, to Ekstra Bladet.

– How do you feel about downgrading such a great right as the Champions League?

– We do not feel that we are downgrading it.

– There are probably more people who can watch TV3 + than Max and Sport?

– Yes, but I do not feel that we downgrade it. You could have said the opposite with the Premier League match, then it would have been downgraded.

– At least you have a standard for on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Champions League weeks, then there is the Champions League on TV3 +?

– Yes, of course it’s a little different. We are in the situation that we simply have so many events at the same time that we have to have many channels in play.

– Our feeling is that there are most Danes just tomorrow night, who are looking forward to watching the Premier League match, and this is reflected in where it is located.

– It’s a huge fight. Arsenal are running well. Liverpool are fighting for the championship, says Benjamin Munk Lund.

The match at the Emirates Stadium kicks off at 21.15 – a quarter of an hour after the Champions League matches.
