UEFA Considering World Cup Style Format To Complete Champions League 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Jun 8, 2020 9:03 pm

UEFA is considering finishing the 19-20 Champions League with a mini-tournament.

The Champions League has been suspended since March 12th due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

There are four round-of-16 ties that need to be completed along with the remainder of the tournament. Four round-of-16 second-leg ties have yet to be played: Manchester City vs. Real Madrid, Juventus vs. Lyon, Barcelona vs. Napoli and Bayern Munich vs. Chelsea.

The final was scheduled to be held in Istanbul, but Germany and Portugal are the two most likely options to stage the completion of the tournament.
