For the first time this season, fans will have to choose between watching Feyenoord play against FC Porto on Tuesday, November 24 at 21.00, or PSV take on Real Madrid at the same time. The UEFA has scheduled the matches to take place simultaneously, despite the usual practice of separating the two Dutch clubs. This is not a requirement, as the UEFA tries to take into account clubs from the same country in their planning, but it is not a strict rule. The scheduling is influenced by TV rights and viewing figures, but it is not a mandatory consideration.
