UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin has said, fans across the world want European Champions Leagueand Europa League to be played behind closed doors rather than been void.

Recall that the European football governing body put to hold all European football matches because of the coronavirus pandemic ravaging almost every country in the continent.

In late March, the UEFA president said both Champions League and Europa League may resume between July and August. Yet, another statement which urged domestic leagues in Europe not to abandon the season advised the leagues management bodies to complete their seasons.

The statement promised to put the UEFA tournaments on hold until domestic leagues are able to bring their leagues into a logical end.

But Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin told ZDF Sportstudio that both tournaments (Champions League and Europa League) can not be stretched until September or October.

“We can’t play it out in September or October,” he said.

Going by this statement, there is a high possibility that this season’s UEFA Champions League and Europa League might be cancelled outrightly if the coronavirus pandemic does not end or government authorities do not permit UEFA to go on with the leagues on or before the end of August.
