The reunion between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will wait.
The Argentine and the Portuguese were to meet on the occasion of the second day of the Champions League in Turin, next Wednesday, for the poster between Juventus and FC Barcelona.
But the
Correio da Manha
revealed that the attacker of the Old Lady, already positive for Covid-19 on October 13, carried out a new test on Thursday.
And this one again proved positive.
Infected by the virus two days after France-Portugal (0-0) while he was in training with the national team without however showing symptoms, "CR7" could not therefore be aligned on the front of the Turin attack .
UEFA requires a negative test dating from seven days before a meeting to allow a player to participate.
Little hope of obtaining a waiver
There is still a tiny chance to see Cristiano Ronaldo on the lawn of Juventus Stadium for the European shock.
According to
Marca
, Juventus Turin could ask to carry out a test 48 hours before the European shock based on the results of the examination carried out on Thursday.
These would display a very low corner load in the player's body.
It remains to be seen that UEFA will agree to offer a waiver for the five-time Golden Ball, which will, whatever happens, run out of competition to regain the Champions League.
