Despite the 55,000 entries currently authorized, many of those who already have a ticket or even a captive seat may not go to the game, either by their own choice or simply because they may not get the necessary test in time. This is because the responsiveness of the institutions responsible for carrying out the tests – pharmacies and laboratories – will be put under strong pressure in the next 48 hours: yesterday there were already many pharmacies in the Lisbon area that were no longer accepting antigen test appointments for this week.
