Champions League: Atltico, waiting for the possibility of not being able to receive Chelsea | Football24 News English

Ehe Atltico de Madrid by the Mexican Hctor Herrera, is waiting for the possibility of not be able to host Chelsea in the Champions League (game to be played on February 23 at the Metropolitano) due to the new regulations that, for example, have led Liverpool not being able to travel to Germany to face Leipzig due to the restrictions caused by the new wave of Covid-19.

A ban that reaches, for the moment, until February 17, just one day after the date set for the duel that seems cannot be disputed. A scenario that has led to el Atltico start working on new options (play in a field other than the Metropolitan) in case that date is extended and Chelsea cannot travel to Madrid for the match scheduled on February 23.

In the rojiblanco team they will wait to see how events unfold on that first day of the Champions League and in the Europa League round in which there are also teams involved in these new and harsh restrictions due to the increase in coronavirus cases.

It must be remembered, in this sense, that to finish the last edition UEFA had to invent an 8-inch format in Lisbon that managed to put an end to the Champions 19-20.

You should wait for what happens in the next few weeks and how it evolves in the Atltico tie, and of all the teams involved in the round of 16.
