UEFA has confirmed Tottenham's game against Rennes will not go ahead due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
It was revealed on Wednesday that eight players at Tottenham and five members of Antonio Conte's staff had returned positive tests.
Their Europa Conference League match was due to take place on Thursday at 8pm GMT and it is as yet unclear when the fixture will be played.
A UEFA statement read: “We can confirm that the match Tottenham-Rennes will not take place tonight.
“Further info will follow in due course.”
Rennes, in their own statement on Wednesday, called the postponement a “unilateral decision" and referred to a “lack of fair play”.

They fucked the draw right up - by leaving the United ball out of the pot when they drew the Atletico tie - but it looks like they're gonna let it stand rather than do it again.

Surely they will have to redraw that? It was a complete balls up.

Edit. Atletico are pushing for a redraw now. Of course they wanted United instead of Bayern!

[hallelujah]

To be redrawn at 2pm UK time.

United to get PSG.

(Or Simeone's shithousery)

[harrybarracuda]

Had to happen eventually. These things are fucking pointless, just do it on a computer and email it to everyone.

Trouble is all these clingers want their free trips.

so Utd are out, Citeh & Ski just have to turn up and Leepool should make it through. Of course the "inventor" of the pressing game may yet get something out of the journeymen, but we all know he didn't

If you're wondering where the Irons are, they get a bye for winning their group.

[Edmond]

Utd are out

Oblak has conceded 3 hat-tricks in his career.


All three were scored by the same player.



That player wasn't 39 years old at the time, and sure, DeGea concedes 3 own goals per 90 minutes of Bailly or Lindelof playing... but wouldn't write it off yet.

[Reg Dingle]

Did Arsenal get a bye too?

Made me laugh last Thursday night on the radio when the presenter read out who was playing 5hat evening...

Spurs vs blah blah
West Ham taking on blah blah
Leicester hosting blah blah
And Arsenal Ladies vs Barcelona Femininos

[Joe 90]

Imagine Maguire vs Mbappe, Messi and Neymar

It would have been Utds worst European defeat and possibly set a new record.
No that couldn't happen, now they have a piss easy time.
So called big clubs and UEFA corruption!

That draw was more bent than Tomcat down boyztown at Mardi fooking Gras!

You mean like last season when we beat them once and they beat us...once?

So when do these competitions actually begin again and they play the teams that have already qualified for the next round?

[harrybarracuda]

We could have a West Ham/Rangers final!

Europa League quarter-final draw

RB Leipzig vs Atalanta
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Barcelona
West Ham vs Lyon
Braga vs Rangers

Europa League semi-final draw

RB Leipzig or Atalanta vs Braga or Rangers
West Ham or Lyon vs Eintracht Frankfurt or Barcelona

Chelski play Real Madrid in the other cup.

[harrybarracuda]

Oooh Chelski and Bayern out.

[hallelujah]

Can Simeone's shit on a stick do a number on Guardiola's lot tonight?

With Liverpool cruising in the 2nd leg, perhaps we won't get the drama of last night's games.
