The latest from the Daily Mirror claims that UEFA are pushing for domestic league seasons to be completed by 3 August. There is no date, but UEFA president Aleksandar Ceferin told Italian newspaper La Repubblica this week that the options are mid-May, June, or the end of June.
“If we don’t succeed in restarting, the season will probably be lost,” he said.
The Mirror writes that UEFA are also considering a four-team mini tournament to conclude the Champions League and Europa League in their originally planned final host cities. That would speed up the competition by bunching together the semi-finals and final.
Once the round of 16 and quarter-finals have been completed, presumably as normal other than being behind closed doors, the four remaining Champions League teams in that scenario would then descend on Istanbul at some point in August after the domestic seasons are over.
