Calendar of FC Barcelona

Still lacking so that the football return to Spain, although the plan for the turn of LaLiga is taking form with the step of the days. It seems that every time it is more defined the new calendar that will have the Spanish championship, although all goes to depend en última instancia of Health and of the Upper Council of Sports. Until both organisms do not give his seen well, the sport king does not go to be able to go back to the stadiums.

It has spoken of a lot of dates, ideas and plans these weeks, but still there is not at all official. What yes seems is that the idea that is taking form is the one to go back to the trainings to finals of May or beginnings of June to restart the campaign to finals of June or principles of July. The dates are orientative, since they will depend on how advance the pandemia of coronavirus in Spain, but roughly that would be the new calendar.

The state of alarm is programmed until 26 April, but is very likely that lengthen until 11 May. From the second week of May is when it could begin to pose go back to train and later to play. LaLiga Has presented a protocol with measures for him gone back to the trainings so that all the clubs go of the hand. This next week all the teams will analyse this and will gather later captains, trainers and doctors of all the groups to accept or refuse the proposal of LaLiga.

The preparadores of all the clubs have indicated that before going back to play the footballers go to need of three to four weeks to exercise . After so much time of confinement, the players will have to do a pre-season to go back to take the own automatisms of the game. By this reason, the aim would be to begin to train what before to be able to restart the competition the third week of June. As late, it would mark of date of turn the first of July.

The Real Spanish Federation of Football has left clear that does not go to allow that they play split each less than 72 hours. That is the limit that has put him to LaLiga and therefore they go to need at least five weeks so that they finalise the 11 days that remain for contesting . They will be two weekly meetings and in these 35-40 days would have to can finish the Spanish competition. If the trainings go back for the third week of May, the championship will go back before and will finish to finals of July.

The Champions would be in August

 

The UEFA prefers that before the Champions League and of the Europe League play the national championships. Each country has his rhythm to happen the pandemia and thus it is preferable that the maximum continental competition play what later better. The idea would be that it contested in August, when LaLiga and the rest of domestic tournaments already had finalised. In fact, 'The World' ensures that the final of the League of Champions could be on 29 August.

The format of turn of the Champions could depend on the available dates and of how advance the illness in Europe. If all the clubs that contest the tournament can receive the parties and there is time, will not touch at all. In contrary case, could do a species of 'Final to eight' between the cuartofinalistas in a same headquarters and to an alone party. Before this would have to play the crashes remain of eighth, between them the Barça-Naples, that as 'Sport' could be on 23 July.
