Onkohan saarella pelattaviin otteluihin odotettavissa vielä muutoksia? Varsin oudolle yhtälölle kuulostaa, ettei Espanjaan saa tulla Englannista, mutta espanjalainen joukkue saa käydä Englannissa ja palata kotimaahan.
Vaan onpahan nämä säännöt olleet erikoisia jo pidempään.
Brittijoukkueet joutuisi karanteeniin, jos ne pelaisi Espanjassa/Portugalissa. Espanjasta kuitenkin voi tulla Englantiin.
Man United’s last-32 clash against Real Sociedad has also been affected, but the Red Devils will at least still get the chance to play at Old Trafford after only their first-leg was moved.
United were due to travel to Spain to face Real Sociedad next Thursday, but they will now take on Sociedad at Juventus’ Allianz Stadium in Turin following Spanish Government restrictions on travellers entering the country from England, while there are no current restrictions to prevent people from entering the UK from Spain.
Benfica ei pääsisi maahan ollenkaan.
However, Government rules regarding travel between the UK and Portugal mean neither of Arsenal’s games can take place at either club’s home stadium, which is who both the first and second legs have been relocated.
Arsenal would have been forced to isolate for ten days after returning from Portugal – with the usual exceptions for elite athletes scrapped – while Benfica would not have been able to enter the UK at all.
The developments come after Liverpool and Manchester City also had Champions League ties due to be played in Germany moved to Budapest.
Liverpool’s clash with Leipzig on February 16 and City’s encounter with Borussia Monchengladbach on February 24 will now both take place at the Puskas Arena in the Hungarian capital on their respective scheduled dates.
