“The match is not at risk,” the Minister of Health Illa told RAC1. “There is no danger of the game having to be played behind closed doors,
“We have decided to close the stadiums only for the games that would be attended by people from the affected areas but that’s not the case here.
“The only thing that we are preoccupied with is the exodus of many fans.”
“The Champions League game between Barcelona and Napoli could be played regularly, as Naples is not currently in the zone at risk, like northern Italy.”
