Uefa aren't about to have a say in matters.
Government and local authority calling the shots.
UEFA planning a meeting next Tuesday? Events will have long since overtaken them by then.

If Madrid are in a 14 day self isolation why has our game next week not been called off?
It's only the first team that is in self-isolation. Maybe they are planning to play the reserves...
See you next Tuesday seems apt under the circumstances.UEFA meeting on Tuesday??
What an absolute farce.

Wonder if they're hoping Government's make the call so they wouldn't be in the firing line for any compensation from teams that may feel hard done to?

UEFA working on it - expect a press release next Monday afternoon... probably citing our inability to host the tie and awarding Madrid a default 3:0 win

Government would be immune from prosecution on the basis that they'd be acting in a wider public interest. That Dipper 10 billion petition will fall of deaf ears.

No matter what UEFA think they are, no matter what power they think they have, they will be told very simplest and clearly to do one by the governments, even more so in this country right now.
Your right - they have no say what so ever in this; it’s down to individual governments and regional authorities in some places.
I’m sure however they will make it sound like they are calling the shots somehow ;-)
