Might be easier to play in empty stadium, says Forlan

11 matches in 39 days, that is what the 20 teams in LaLiga will face when the Spanish first division returns to action starting 11 June. A condensed fixture like no other as LaLiga scrambles to complete the 2019/20 season before the resumption of European cup competitions in August.

Unlike the Vietnam V-League which resumed operations on 5 June without any fan restrictions, LaLiga will follow the same protocol as the ones seen in the Korean K-League and German Bundesliga with matches played behind closed doors.

Atmosphere inside the stadium generated from the stands is part and parcel of a game of football but it differs in impact to players according to former Atletico Madrid and Villareal forward, Diego Forlan.
