The coronavirus epidemic also prevents the usual encounter between players and journalists at the second round of the Champions League between Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund.
The so-called “mixed zone” after the match on Wednesday (21:00) will be eliminated, the European Football Union (UEFA) announced.
In the duel between FC Valencia and Atalanta Bergamo (Tuesday, 9:00 p.m.), which will be played without spectators due to the virus, reporters will be completely excluded. Only employees of the broadcasting TV stations are allowed into the stadium. The press activities on the day before the match have also been cancelled.
