Valencia will have to play the second leg of the second round of the Champions League against Bergamo in front of empty seats. The reason for this is the spread of the coronavirus.

Due to the spread of the corona virus, the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 between FC Valencia and Atalanta Bergamo will be played in camera.

As the Spanish Minister of Health Salvador Illa announced on Tuesday, in addition to the Premier League encounter on 10 March (21.00), the return match in the European League duel between FC Getafe and top Italian club Inter Milan (19 March) will be played in front of empty stands.

Italy is the biggest focus of coronavirus in Europe, which is why there were only four matches in Serie A last weekend. Atalanta with German professional Robin Gosens won their first game against Valencia 4-1.

According to Onda Cero, the Spanish government is also said to have recommended that FC Barcelona play the return match against SSC Naples behind closed doors on 18 March.
