However, according to UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, the European governing body are setting internal targets of when games need to be played by.

“You can work within the current system, or with a single game at home or away, or at a neutral venue, he told an interview with German TV channel ZDF, reported via Mundo Deportivo.

“For now, all situations are theoretical, as the situation is extraordinary.

But, the Champions League must be finished by August 3.

We must be flexible, and we are working on plans to bring the Champions League and the Europa League back in May, June and July.”

La Liga currently have five clubs involved in both competitions, three in the Champions League and two in the Europa League.
