Due to the Kovid-19 travel restrictions, both Champions League legs between Portuguese club Porto and Premier League team Chelsea will be played in Coville, Spain. The matches will be played on 7 April at the Ramon Sánchez Pizjuan Stadium in Sevilla and return on 13 April. Portugal was removed from the British government’s list of a travel ban red list earlier this month, but anyone entering the UK is still required to self-segregate for 10 days from there.
This is the latest European tie this season to be affected by travel restrictions related to the epidemic.
Ironically, Chelsea’s last-16 tie against Atlético Madrid went first in the Romanian capital of Bucharest.
This week Spain relaxed restrictions on people entering the country from the UK for some reason, including those attending high-level sporting events.
Both legs of the final-16 ties between Liverpool and RB Leipzig and between Manchester City and Borussia Moenchengladbach were changed to Budapest.

Meanwhile, the last 32 ties between Arsenal and Lisbon stalwart Benfica in two legs of the Europa League were played at neutral venues in Italy and Greece.
Chelsea have already played at Sanchez Pizzas this season, beating Sevilla 4–0 in a group game in December.
