I want this year UCL to be won by PSG but right now they will struggle a lot to eliminate Borussia but when you have Mbappe, Neymar and Cavani there are always chances for your team to score the necessary goals to move on the next phase.

Good hope, but unfortunately it will be difficult. We do see PSG's front lines are terrible, but they have a back line that is not solid. So they often concede. Therefore PSG will work even harder if it wants to win the UCL title this season.

Also Liverpool looks stronger and their mind is set on UCL in trying to win it again. I would not forget about City even if they will get suspended 2 years in UCL they will try everything in order to win it this year in order to give time for a new squad to get assembled for the next years to come.

Well, considering how many tickets champions league games are selling that is one thing but also there is always the jersey sales and other merchandise stuff as well and all of that collectively becomes a huge amount of loss for the teams. I think uefa or serie A or any other should finally get an agreement with the TV rights all around the world to increase when there is a game without any viewers, not huge a lot but a bit of difference and change would be nice.

It doesn't have to be for this corona virus because it is already too late and deals are made but for the future a deal that includes "if for any reason games are played without supporters, the price will be increased 5% for that game" type of rule would actually make teams lose a bit less amount of money in the future.

TV rights contracts don't work that way not unless there is some kind of fortuitous event clause that lets the league to increase their payouts on their TV rights revenue, the broadcasting media cannot adjust to the outbreak with regards to this kinds of problems. Unfortunately the only side who will need to adjust is the league/s itself and accept the fact that playing with close doors is the best option to minimize the outbreak for their country and also let this part of the season be at a loss in terms of profit. If they don't adjust by themselves and make changes happen then I would expect UEFA or their own government to force them to do so in order to give the public safety a priority.

The income of many industries is hit all around the world due to the Corona virus.
It is better to have games without spectators than don't have games at all. The income of clubs would be worse if they didn't play the games due to postponements.

I think this is only happening in the Italian league, but other European countries are still safe about the Corona virus so the match is always in the title with many spectators.
Well there are lots of losses for the Italian club because of the many postponed matches and also without the spectators it's a big loss for them, but hopefully Juventus vs Lyon will remain in the title of the match.

@coinlocket$ @$crypto$ though there’s no official word yet from UEFA, in my personal opinion this match will go ahead and will be played behind closed doors as all matches in Italy are supposed to be placed behind closed doors till April 3rd.

If the match will continue in Italy then I think the UCL match without the first audience due to the corona virus is really annoying if this match has to be without supporters.

This is exactly what i was also thinking. The competition will have to continue thought it's quite annoying how this pandemic is attempting to destroy the flow of the beautiful sport.

It seems like many clubs have suffered losses due to this virus so that their income according to the flow of sports many have been postponed and also without spectators.

@tranthidung you’re right that this season Messi and Ronaldo haven’t performed well, but it’s too early to rule them out of the race to win the golden boot, and between Lewandowski and Halland I would pick the latter as he’s simply brilliant and a beast in front of the goal.

Who will win the race depends on the strength of their teams - that are nearly the same, and their forms - that are excellent too. Lewandowski and Haaland are not sensible with injuries so let's see how these teams will play and end their next matches.

Lets give them a break, these guys are over 30years and have been consistent for the past decade. Single handedly, they have carried their club respectively to win major trophies including this competition and it's quite time others step up to fill their shoes and that's what Lewandowski and Halland is currently doing as they're the players making the competition a delight to watch this season, with the goals they're scoring. If you think they (Messi and Ronaldo) are underperformed for the season, use their stats to compare with others, apart from those obviously having an incredible season.

Messi and Ronaldo are doing well, compare with other players who have ages above 30. Their forms only fall compare to theirs in the past 2 or 3 years. Haaland, what I expect from him is his performance next season to see he is a really good player or only a one-season phenomena.

Concerning Corona, the virus isn't only obstructing the beautiful game but also affecting the income meant to be generated which might affect the competition if precautions aren't taken. If the games are to be played indoors without supporters it means tickets won't be sold and if this continues who knows, the competition might get postpone.

I don’t see how CL games can be postponed, it’s impossible because the tournament is still running in other countries. You can’t have a knockout competition where other teams are in the 1/4 final already waiting for Juve & Lyon to play their last 16 tie.

If anything happens it’ll just be restricted to behind closed doors games - As the famous saying goes - The show must go on.

I agree with you. It's most likely that game will be held behind closed doors. Serie A already made decision that all matches will be played without spectators. Or in worst case scenario game will be moved to other country in neutral location. There is already one example in basketball, when team from Italy were not released into Turkey and they were forced to play in Serbia.

If Italian federation feel playing behind close doors safe then surely they can go ahead because its good for team need to play at home because playing in neutral is not good for Juventus and I think there is no option for postpone this match as season is already going to end and its could be headache for UEFA and local federation.

Is still not confirmed if and if yes where Juventus will play with Lyon.

In France they started to postponed game too, the world will probably need a stop for 30-60 days.

A 30-60 days delay will be too costly, I think will be a good idea if they can play behind closed doors without any of their fan either on the stadium, instead of postponing the game for such time or indefinitely, only if the clubs turned down the possibility to play behind closed doors then, they can postpone till further notice

Depends, if the Italian government says "Piemonte is now added to RedZone", they will not play there.

No one here discussed about the race to the golden boot of Champions League this season.

This season is the first time after many years we see both C. Ronaldo and L. Messi fall into the bottom of the race. The two leaders are Lewandowski and Haaland. I think maybe one of them (or both) will win the golden boot this season because the rest competitors have problems with their club's situations (after the first leg). Their clubs will hardly to win and go forwards.

Messi and Ronaldo are big players but I don't see how they can come back to the race for the rest matches.

Whereas in this second leg match at home to Juventus they expect this match to win in front of their own fans, will there be any more delays?

It looks like the Champions League has also begun to be threatened with delays again and we are just waiting for UEFA's decision in the next few days.
