Fans banned from Barca-Napoli Champions League tie over coronavirus
Barcelona-Napoli Champions League decider to be played without spectators
(Reuters) - Barcelona’s Champions League last-16 second leg match with Napoli scheduled for March 18 will take place without spectators due to fears over the spread of the coronavirus, a club spokesman said on Tuesday (March 10).
The match is the latest Champions League fixture to be affected by the spread of the virus, with Paris St Germain’s Tuesday fixture with Borussia Dortmund set to go ahead without supporters, as will Valencia’s match with Atalanta, also on Tuesday.
The announcement was closely followed by the postponement of the Six Nations rugby match between France and Ireland scheduled for Saturday in Paris.
