Coronavirus: Finishing the Champions League is 'impossible', says Bayern's Hernandez

Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez has expressed his belief that it will be "impossible" to complete this season's Champions League.

UEFA has suspended the Champions League and Europa League indefinitely during the coronavirus pandemic.

President Aleksander Ceferin said last week that he would consider allowing those European competitions to resume behind closed doors if necessary, likely in July and August, but he accepted they might have to be cancelled if they were unable to resume matches by September.

With Europe's top leagues also facing the prospect of having to be completed in July or later, Hernandez does not think it will be practical to stage the final rounds of the Champions League at the same time.
