Leipzig (AP) - Despite the entry ban imposed by the federal government for people from particularly affected corona mutation areas, RB Leipzig wants to play its Champions League game against Liverpool as planned.
«Footballers are in a certain bubble.
In my opinion there should be a solution to let the home game take place.
Our goal is not to play in St. Petersburg or anywhere else as an alternative, ”said RB CEO Oliver Mintzlaff on Saturday evening on Sky.
The entry ban is valid until February 17th, including for citizens from Great Britain.
The round of 16 first leg of the premier class is scheduled for February 16.
On Saturday, the Federal Ministry of Health referred to the Federal Ministry of the Interior on request, from there there was initially no comment.
There are exceptions in the regulation, but professional sport is not listed there.
A spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Health did not want to comment on individual cases in the ARD “Sportschau”.
In general, however, the report said that there would only be the exceptions that were explicitly mentioned in the regulation.
