Real Madrid 2nd leg - how?!

[Mikeegrini]

Thought it was starting in August Chaddy?

Elite sport quarantine exemption which makes sense seeing as every travelling member will be being tested three times a week.

Even though testing is only 70% sensitive at best? Perhaps it is seen as a reasonable risk but it's no guarantee.

Where are games being played if/when it starts up?

 

[cptaidan88]

Heard suggestions it will be discussed by UEFA this week. As it stands;

Aug 8 - Real Madrid 2nd Leg
Aug 15 - One Legged Quarter Final
Aug 22 - One Legged Semi Final
Aug 29 - Final

All games likely to be played at one location (press have speculated various German cities, Lisbon, or Istanbul where the final was originally going to be).

I'd prefer they play them in Hungary or Poland where they have started letting supporters back in to the games (or will have done by August). Not sure how keen they would be on welcoming (potentially) thousands of English supporters though given we have not got it anywhere near under control in comparison. I think they should play the games in a shorter space of time too, so there is a bit of a gap before the next season (rumoured to start on 19th September).

No deffinate dates yet but Sunday Times reporting yesterday FA cup and CL to start August.

So 2 from the next round of 8 would forfeit, a free to semis for 2 teams?

Edit, got that wrong, Lyon would go out in this round and whoever draws PSG next round wound get the free.

Surely they would just allow Dortmund to take PSG's place if this was the case.

Ahh cheers Dan

Only to maintain sporting integrity......of course.

PSG have already requested to have their matches played outside of France.
