Leipzig is at home in Budapest today: For the first leg of the first leg of the Champions League against Liverpool, the German Bundesliga club had to move to Hungary due to Corona. “We are happy that we can play at all,” said coach Julian Nagelsmann. Wolfsberg will also play the first leg of the last sixteen of the Europa League against Tottenham in the Puskas Arena on Thursday.
The guest performances in Hungary became necessary because both the Austrian and German authorities refused entry to the English teams. It’s different in Hungary. It is considered a risk area, but not a country in which the new corona mutations occur dangerously often. The EM host will also host Mönchengladbach’s Champions League match against Manchester City on February 24.
The host clubs are responsible for ensuring that the scheduled games can take place. If this does not succeed, the game will be rated 3-0 for the visiting club. If a team is quarantined by the local authorities, the game can be postponed – but the calendar hardly allows for new appointments. The round of 32 of the Europa League must be completed by March 5, the round of 16 of the Champions League by April 2.
Liverpool posted
In terms of sport, Leipzig has a chance today against Liverpool, which has lost three Premier League games in a row. “Your focus is now only on the Champions League. You will try to shake off the negative things,” said Nagelsmann.
FC Barcelona kept their home rights in the game against Paris Saint-Germain. Once again, it is Lionel Messi on whom Barca’s hopes rest. “Everything is easier with him in shape,” said coach Ronald Koeman of his captain, who scored two goals in the 5-1 win against Alaves.
