The Champions League, the richest, grandest tournament in club soccer, is facing the prospect of being suspended after Real Madrid became the latest of Europe’s elite teams to go into quarantine because of fears of exposure to the coronavirus.
Real Madrid confirmed in a statement on Thursday morning that one of its basketball players had tested positive for coronavirus, and that as a result all of the club’s sporting operations were being suspended. The basketball team shares the same training facility as its soccer team, so the restrictions were applied to both teams.
