You can noticed that in Champions league all matches are playing on one night (which is indeed very strange), so there can be at least two games from 10 in total where can be watched entirely. The 'blame' and explanation of why there is only a 24 hour period for this competition (and not the usual 48) lies at the next event.

Tuesday, 10 August at 21.00 CET: Glasgow rangers - Malmo.
Tuesday, 10 August at 21.00 CET: Legia - Dinamo Zagreb.

And that tournament is called the Super Cup where everything is cleared (deliberately are not playing any of the above three competitions) so that television stations can be focused solely on this duel. Sometimes it is at the second part, however this year fell on the first of this month where it is always staged. Only two champions are participating at a single duel on a neutral pitch: winners of the past (2020-21) season from Champions and Europa league. In other words: who ever is going to lift the trophy it can be appointed as super champion.

Wednesday, 11 August at 21.00 CET: Chelsea - Villarreal (playing at Windsor park, Belfast, Northern Ireland).
