More bad news regarding the pandemic affecting the whole world. Real Madrid and La Liga announced a suspension of operations including a quarantine period for members of the football and basketball sides. This after a basketball player on Real tested positive for the virus.
From the official statement-
“ The recommendation of remaining in quarantine has been followed with immediate effect, with this measure applied to both the basketball and football first teams, given that the two squads share the facilities at Real Madrid City.
In addition, a decision has been made to close our training ground and it is recommended that all Real Madrid staff who work at Real Madrid City remain in quarantine. “
This puts in serious question whether the return leg of the UCL will be played next week.
Most of Europe is under near to complete shutdown mode after the wide spread impact of the Coronavirus.
