Madrid (dpa) - In order to finish the Champions League in spite of the Corona crisis, the European Football Union UEFA and the club association ECA are considering Spanish media reports about a Final 8 tournament in August.

The newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that it was looking for a neutral place where the teams and all companions could live in isolation during the competition. There must also be strict medical checks.

The quarter-finals and semi-finals should therefore be played in a single game instead of the usual round-trip. However, not all round of 16 have ended. The return leg of Bayern Munich after the 3-0 first leg win at Chelsea is still open. Game operations in the premier class had been suspended indefinitely in mid-March due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The final was originally scheduled to take place in Istanbul on May 30.
