That's UEFA's view.

A knobhead nearly calling UEFA knobheads. That's amusing.

Uefa are ok with a continent-wide pandemic as long as the income stream flows!

Can't the clubs refuse to play it

Can't see Lyon wanting to travel to Italy.

The coronavirus in Spain is taking off quickly & will soon be like the Italian situation. There will be no chance of Spanish fans attending & most likely it wont even take place.

I can see a scenario where the Euro’s are cancelled and possibly played next year which frees up the summer to have everybody finish their seasons then ahead of the new season in August. In a scenario where we are still cancelling sporting events in the mid-late summer then football isn’t going to matter as the world will be on its knees.

Spanish holding a meeting in next couple of hours to discuss whether to stop La Liga. If that happens then football is finished this season.

Yes Getafe have already done that for their game against Inter and I think Roma can't travel for their game in Sevilla has they haven't been authorised travel just seeing if UEFA sanctions the clubs which will be stupid but nothing would suprise me with them
