Paris Saint-Germain puts all the balls on its side so that the 8th final of the Champions League return against Dortmund on Wednesday can be played in front of its audience, despite the always real risk that the meeting will take place behind closed doors of the coronavirus epidemic.

According to information from L'Equipe , the club asked the cleaning company that usually works at the Parc des Princes to disinfect the entire stadium in order to accommodate its public in the best possible sanitary conditions. The goal is to convince the authorities that this crucial match in the club season can be done with the support of its supporters.

Oise supporters summoned to stay at home?

The club is now awaiting the conclusions of the government's defense council, which could possibly decide on a possible closed session (or even a postponement of the meeting), UEFA not having control over the final decision. In addition, the PSG does not exclude asking the supporters of the Oise, hit hard by the disease, not to go to the stadium on Wednesday and to be reimbursed for their ticket. This is already what was done during the French Women's Football Tournament during the two matches of the French team.

The defense council of the government in the evening of Sunday is awaited by the Parisian leaders because it is from him that could come the dreaded modifications: behind closed doors or postponement of a week of the meeting, UEFA not being decision maker in the case.
