Catalan health council says Barcelona vs Napoli can be played at Camp Nou

Despite some vehement protests by Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, it looks as though the Greatest Stadium on Earth will indeed be the venue for the Champions League Round of 16 second leg between Barcelona and the Italian club this Saturday.

Catalonia’s Health Secretary José María Argimón spoke to Catalan radio on Wednesday and said that the game can go on as planned despite the recent spike in coronavirus cases in the region over the last few weeks. According to Argimón, the situation is better this week and there will be no threat to safety of anyone involved in the match.
