The most anticipated reunion of this edition of the Champions League, between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, will have to wait. The Portuguese footballer has returned to give positive for coronavirus, Therefore, according to the UEFA protocol, the next match of the competition will be lost, which will be played next Wednesday at the Juventus Stadium.
The first positive of Cristiano was known just a week ago, when he was concentrating with the Portugal national team. Then he was isolated and returned to Italy in his private plane, which sparked criticism of him by the Italian government, considering some of its members, such as the sports minister, that he had violated the country’s sanitary regulations.
Ronald Koeman, therefore, he has one less problem to worry about to face the second day of the Champions League. Both teams arrive after winning a victory on the first day of the competition.
