Champions League multi-view streaming options

Honestly, I’ve been getting increasingly annoyed by these "split-screen" broadcasts lately. They completely mess with the flow of the game, and I end up losing my focus. On those tiny little inset screens, you can barely see any action, yet somehow you lose the connection to the actual match being broadcasted. I have no idea who came up with this concept, but it’s pretty pathetic. It could have been handled so much better. For instance, if nothing is happening in the main game, just show a replay of the last goal. Simple. But instead, they cut away from the live action to some other stadium regardless of what's actually going on. Then we're stuck staring at two different screens, totally confused. Sometimes we spend a minute or two just waiting to figure out what happened because the camera is busy filming the crowd or a coach, while the main game just keeps moving without us.
I really think they should scrap this entirely because it ruins the whole experience of watching a match. My vote is to just put the score in a corner and leave it at that. The information is there, and the game continues uninterrupted. If someone wants to see a specific goal, they can watch the highlights afterward (though showing them a bit sooner wouldn't hurt). There is nothing more frustrating than when they cut to a goal from another game right as a goal is being scored in the match we're actually watching. At that point, I'm ready to just throw the remote at the TV.
So, tell me—am I the only one bothered by these split-screen interruptions, or is it everyone else too? What’s the fix here?
P.S. It drove me absolutely crazy tonight when Lionel Messi got injured, but all they showed was a penalty kick that happened during a split-screen segment two minutes prior. By the time the footage caught up, we were already watching a substitution, while the tiny little window just showed Lionel Messi lying there on the ground.👎
