There are still months to go for the last 16 matchups to be played in the Champions League. And the covid-19 situation is getting heavier in Europe now. Therefore, I think that it is really difficult to comment on the matches. For example, Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Curtis Jones tested positive for covid-19 at Liverpool today and they couldn't play in the Newcastle match.
Not only Liverpool players who got positive covid19 because I heard too Madrid players and Chelsea players got positive covid19 and most of these teams cannot play with full strength for at least until next few weeks and it can be serious problem too if these situations continue until February and possibly some of teams cannot playing well because of it
Still can't predict because 16 round stage begin on February ad now many player have positive covid 19, if some player get positive they will out from first and second leg because just separated one week only between first and second leg begin. I hope all team on 16 stage get their player without positive covid 19 and hope they can play at home and away without play on other stadium.
If many of the players are positive for COVID-19 then I think the league will probably be paused and a new schedule made until the problem is resolved, because when many players are positive for COVID-19 it will cause the match to be postponed. I'm not sure they will continue with the remaining players, because most of those affected by covid19 are key players. If they have problems regarding injuries, of course, it is a different policy from players who are positive for COVID because this is a pandemic, of course they must also consider the safety and health of other players and staff.
