David Galan, CEO of Picklive said: “We have been working with the Telegraph for some time in the provision of the hugely popular daily fantasy sports games which typically last for one match on the Premier League. However given the competiveness and interest in the Champions League, many of the players’ that play our games asked for a mini tournament on the next round of this competition.”
Steve Stiles, Interactive Sports Manager at the Telegraph Media Group further commented,
“This Champions League contest will offer 200,000 Telegraph Fantasy Football managers a compelling way to test their virtual selection and managerial skills in every match throughout the knock-out stages of the Champions League, culminating with a big-money Grand Final on Saturday, May 24.”
