The match between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid in the second round of the Champions League resulted in 41 deaths due to the new Corona virus, according to a report published on Sunday.
The British Sunday Times newspaper published a report today to the Edge Health Group, which analyzes the British National Health Service data, indicating that the match, which took place at (Anfield), the stronghold of Liverpool, caused 41 additional deaths between 25 to 35 days from the date of the match. .
And estimated (Imperial College London) and (Oxford) cases of infection with Corona virus during that period in Spain, about 640 thousand cases, compared to 100 thousand cases in Britain.
As the match took place, many companies, schools, and restaurants were closed, in addition to some matches already being played without an audience in Spain.
Last month, José Luis Martínez Almeida, the mayor of the Spanish capital, Madrid, admitted that it was a mistake to stage the match, which ended with Atlético winning 2/3 and qualifying for the quarter-finals of the continental competition, by defeating 4/2 in the total number of matches coming and going.
“It was illogical that 3,000 Atletico fans were able to travel to Anfield at that time,” Martinez Almeida told Spanish radio station Onda Cerro.
“It was, of course, a mistake, to go back in memory, but I think even then there should have been more caution,” the mayor of Madrid added.
