The quarantine puts in risk the return of the Champions League to Spain

The theory says that, when it arrive the month of August, the European competitions like Champions League and UEFA Europe League will take the relief of the leagues, that will have contested his remaining days between June and July, to follow with the eliminatory direct and culminate in the last days of the month with his respective finals. Barça, Madrid and Athletic are the teams that follow alive in the maximum tournament of the KO European.

But so that they can play his parties in the Camp Nou, Santiago Bernabéu and Wanda Metropolitan, will do fault a modification of the restrictions imposed by the Government of Pedro Sánchez, or at least a degree of excepcionalidad for the foreign teams of football. And it is that the Government demands a quarantine of 14 days to all those that arrive to Spain.

"It can not know still the length of the norm that regulates the quarantines, neither what will order the rest of countries"

This means that the rivals of the Spanish teams would have to ask one dispenses special to jump the quarantine and can assist, and if no concedes them will turn into a grave setback -can that fatal- for the aspirations of the national groups in the present edition of the League of Champions. It is very likely that the Ministry of Health did not take into account the problem when publishing in the BOE the ministerial order, by what all will finish with all security in a mere bureaucratic modification when it approach the month of August.

It will be necessary to see, this yes, which is the situation of Spain -and of the rest of European countries- for then, if the contagions and demises by coronavirus have gone down drastically or if, by the contrary, the situation keeps tight. Neither descartan possible burgeon and steps to backwards in the measures of desescalada of the confinement, with the security and health of the citizens above all else.

"It is premature to anticipate stages", has signalled Irene Lozano in statements to 'ACE', in representation of the Upper Council of Sports. And it has remembered, besides, that "not even the UEFA has decreed the date of turn of the European competitions of official form", by what to day of today results enrevesado do speculations on what sucederá to two or three months seen.

A difficult situation to calculate or foresee

"We understand that it is very difficult to explain that the crisis of the COVID-19 is very dynamic, but is ours to have to do upsetting in this fact. Right now we are between the phases zero and one of a process of desescalada that will give us back, if the sanitary situation allows it, to a new normality. In this sense, the ministerial orders suceden very quickly. It can not know still the length of the norm that regulates the quarantines, neither what will order the rest of countries involved in this competition, by what aventurar what can suceder in August would be risky", adds Irene Lozano.

In spite of the delicate situation and the uncertain perspectives of future, Irene Lozano wants to be optimistic: "The commitment of the Government is unambiguous with the sport, to the that has situated in a first plane during this process. And this commitment goes to keep". For now, what is increasingly clear is that LaLiga Santander 2019-20 will restart around the middle of June, the weekend of the 12 or of the 19.
