For this reason, the Champions League and the Europa League must accept the restrictions imposed by the different governments and move the matches where they do allow foreigners to enter.
One of those who will have to move together with their directors is the Argentine Diego Simeone because the match corresponding to the first leg of the knockout stages of the Champions League on Tuesday 23 February between Atlético Madrid and Chelsea cannot be played in Spain as the entry of people from the United Kingdom was restricted.
Therefore, the Colchonero will have to find a stadium in another country to play the match andNone of the possible ones that appear on the horizon is Bucharest National, Romania, where Cholo managed to lift the Europa League in 2012.
In addition to the Spanish teams, those from Belgium, France, Portugal and Germany will also have to change venues. As long as the pandemic continues to keep the world in suspense, football will have to adapt to the different changes so that the ball can keep rolling.
