UEFA President Alexander Chaprin set a new deadline tonight for the end of the season at European factories. "The season must end by August 3rd, in both the Champions League and the European League," explained Chaprin. "If the crisis is over sooner, then of course we will change the plans and think about earlier dates. Now we are more flexible in terms of schedules because there is no tournament Football this summer. "
On the format in which the Champions League will be decided, UEFA president expanded: "Everything is still open. You can't know for sure. Maybe we can play with the current method, or there will be one crucial game on a neutral field. In any case, we will not play in a way that would jeopardize the health of the players or judges. If we can play in safe conditions, I don't see a reason for the season not to end. "
"The playoff system? It's important to know that we depend on the decisions of each country's governments. If they allow us, we can go back to playing. We have scenarios for everything - maybe we will resume the Champions League in May or June or even later."
