Then, the four winning teams will join PSG, Atalanta Bergamo, Atletico Madrid and Leipzig, already qualified, for the quarter-finals which could be organized in Final 8 mode. In other words, the quarters , the half, and obviously the final, will be played in a single match. A meeting that could be held on August 23. Given the sanitary measures which will be strict, the competition will only take place on one site. When it was to host the final, Istanbul should leave its place for the 2020 edition. Lisbon would hold the rope to organize this Final 8, even if Madrid has “presented his candidacy” Tuesday.
The 1st day of L1 shifted?
UEFA leaders could favor a city and a country less affected by the coronavirus pandemic. In this sense, Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, would meet all the favorable criteria. Criteria which even give hope for the reception of supporters for the final. In addition, if this match were to take place on Sunday August 23, then the organization of the first day of L1, for the moment planned the same weekend (note: with the new TV rights, seven Ligue 1 matches will have now on Sunday), could be postponed.
