UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said Monday that leagues across Europe were ready to return to action behind closed doors in a bid to limit the damage caused by coronavirus.

Football leagues have been suspended since mid-March due to the pandemic which has claimed more than 100,000 lives throughout the continent.

But the head of European football believes that playing would be an important step towards a return to normal life and avoid heavy financial losses for leagues.

“I believe there are options that can allow us to restart cup championships and to complete them,” Ceferin said in an interview with Italian daily Corriere della Sera.

“We may have to resume without spectators, but the most important thing, I think, is playing games.

“It is early to say that we cannot complete the season. The impact would be terrible for clubs and leagues. Better to play behind closed doors than not at all.

Ceferin said that if leagues returned “soon enough” then Champions League and Europa League matches could “be played in parallel” with no date limit for the finals.

The Slovenian said he was not in favour of the season going into September and October as it “would have a heavy impact” on the 2020-2021 campaign.

Na quest for money go kill all these footballers.

It appears money is far more important to them than their lives. They think everyday would be when they were making millions, buying exotic cars, building 5-star hotels around the world, throwing parties inside yatch and living flamboyant lifestyle.

They should learn from the death of Leeds Legend, norman hunter,Francisco Garcia the spanish football coach, lorenzo San, former real Madrid president and Pape Diuf former Marseille president died of covid-19. Their billions couldn't be buried with them. These guys are idiots.

Screen all the essential players, place them on isolation let them be going to the pitch from their hotel rooms and back to isolation after the game. No spectators in the stadium apart from only the essential staff and camera crew. That's the only way they can sustain the enormous staff and player salaries. Club expenses will not wait for coronavirus.

Let them resume but adequate preventive measures must be put in place against Corona.
