La Liga President Sets Scenarios to Finish Domestic Leagues, European Competition

MADRID (AP) — Finishing off domestic soccer seasons could take precedence over completing the Champions League.

Spanish league president Javier Tebas said Tuesday that several ideas are being studied by the leagues and UEFA, including having the European competitions restarting only after the national leagues finish.

“The most probable (scenarios) are starting on May 29th, or June 6 or June 7, or June 28 for all the European leagues,” Tebas said in a conference call with international journalists.

Tebas said the Spanish league has been in talks with other leagues almost daily to discuss how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting the sport.
