As a wave of coronavirus cases hits Europe, the Champions League will once send elite players across the continent.
But the largest football club festival has a backup plan so that the level of organization can be completed, even if there is a delay caused by the pandemic.
The accelerated schedule will begin on Tuesday, a month later than normal, and the plan is for 32 groups to play six matches in just 50 days, ending on December 9, January 28.
Keeping the entire festival on time will also have a fund of 2 billion euros ($2. 3 billion).
