UEFA are expected to suspend the Champions League and Europa League, postponing Euro 2020 for a year, but only after a meeting on March 17, claim L’Equipe.
It was announced today that UEFA were organising a summit via video conference with representatives of the 55 members associations, boards of the European Club Association, European Leagues and FIFPro to discuss “European football’s response to the Coronavirus outbreak.
L’Equipe claim one decision has already been made, as UEFA are expected to announce that Euro 2020 will become Euro 2021.
The tournament is due to kick off in Rome on June 12 with Italy-Turkey, but it’s almost impossible for the various domestic seasons to conclude by then with all the postponements.
It seems inevitable at this point that Euro 2020 will have to be delayed and, seeing as it is a travelling tournament based in several different countries around Europe, it’d be wise to postpone it until next summer.
However, when it comes to the Champions League and Europa League, UEFA are allowing this evening’s games to go ahead.
According to Sky Sports UK, UEFA will propose changing the remaining two-legged ties into one-off matches to save time, which could be played on neutral turf.

Yes, that will be a better option because if players are quarantined then how are they going to train. I know it will be the same for all teams but just imagine Euro 2020 played in empty stadiums.[Unlike]
