It should be remembered that Leipzig had already announced that it was talking to UEFA to find out how it should proceed in the clashes with Spartak, assuming that the Union of European Football Federations would make a decision on the matter. On Sunday UEFA already determined that Russian teams would not be able to play any more matches on their territory and that they should be transferred to a neutral field.
