Champions League | Scenario 2 contemplates starting the leagues on June 5, with eight days of weekend and three days of the week


UEFA manages three scenarios for the restart of football in Europe . LaLiga President Javier Tebas revealed that the three key dates are May 29, June 6, and June 28 . But the plan that gathers the most consensus among the 55 federations that make up UEFA is number 2 , with the championships starting on Friday, June 5, in almost all cases, yes, behind closed doors. Federation sources confirmed to this newspaper that "once the health crisis is over and as long as the government authorizes it, starting on June 5 would mean ending the season before August. But there will be nothing certain until the next UEFA meeting" , which is scheduled for mid-May.

In 'Scenario 2', the draft made by the UEFA competition director, the Italian Giorgio Marchetti, plans to start on June 5 and, in the case of Spain (where there are 11 games to go until the end of the Championship) play eight consecutive weekends with three days during the week . That would allow the last day of the League to be played on Sunday, July 26, in a unified schedule . The following week would be free to play the Champions League final, which would be either Friday, July 31 or Saturday, August 1 , preferably for this second date.

Thus, with the League final scheduled for Sunday, July 26 and the Champions League final for Saturday, August 1, in the case of Spain, a key date would have to be resolved, the day of the Cup final that must be played on Athletic Club and Real Sociedad. On the Cup, the RFEF recalls that "it is sovereign to set the date" and also that its purpose is that the final of La Cartuja be disputed with the public "so the date will also depend on the instructions that the Government gives about the stages to lift the quarantine. "

Given that the Government has already advanced that the last thing it will authorize in the 'de-escalation' of the quarantine will be the crowds of the public in all kinds of shows (including sports), it is not ruled out that the Cup final can be played after the summer .
