Catalonia government call for barcelona v napoli to be held behind closed doors as coronavirus cases rise

According to reports, the Catalan government has indeed called for the upcoming Champions League match between Barcelona and Napoli to be held behind closed doors due to the rising number of coronavirus cases in the region.

The match is scheduled to take place on December 8 at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona, and the Catalan government has expressed concerns about the potential risks of large gatherings and crowds in the midst of the ongoing pandemic.

The decision is still pending, as UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) has the final say on the matter. However, the Catalan government's request is likely to be taken into consideration, given the current situation in the region.

It's worth noting that the Spanish government has already implemented measures to curb the spread of the virus, including restrictions on gatherings and mask-wearing mandates. The Catalan government's request is an additional precautionary measure to ensure the safety of fans, players, and staff involved in the match.

What do you think about this development? Should the match be held behind closed doors to prioritize public health, or is it too drastic a measure?
