[골닷컴] Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = Liverpool and Leipzig have decided to play the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 in Budapest, Hungary.

Liverpool announced on the official website of the club on the 4th (local time) that “the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 against Leipzig to be held on the 10th will be held at Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary.”

Liverpool and Leipzig played in Hungary in the first leg of the round of 16. At the time, it should have been held at the home stadium in Leipzig, but due to the German corona 19 regulations, it was decided to proceed in a neutral area. Germany has completely banned entry from countries where the virus has spread to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 mutant virus.

The second game was decided to proceed to Hungary for the same reason. Originally, the second game had to be held at Liverpool’s home stadium, but this time again, Germany’s Corona 19 regulations became a problem. Liverpool explained the reason for the change of venue, saying, “The German Corona 19 regulation prevented Leipzig from ascending to the UK expedition. Accordingly, the second leg of the round of 16, which was scheduled to be held in Anfield, will be held in Hungary,” explained the reason for the change of location.

However, Liverpool will be held in the neutral area, but the home team qualification remains the same. Liverpool wears their home uniform, and Leipzig wears the away team uniform.

Meanwhile, in the first leg of the round of 16 of both teams, which took place on the 17th of last month, Liverpool won the first 2-0 victory thanks to the goals of Salah and Manet. Therefore, if Liverpool don’t give more than two goals in the second game, they will actually be able to advance to the quarterfinals. On the other hand, Leipzig has to score 3 or more goals without a goal.
