On August 8, Camp Nou will host the Champions League last 16 second leg between Barcelona and Napoli. A game behind closed doors, evidently, and following all health protocols marked by the authorities and UEFA against the coronavirus.

However, the growth of new cases in Barcelona has created uncertainty, but for now the game is not at risk despite the uptick in cases in Catalonia.

 

The government has recommended people not move this weekend, staying in the city and not heading out to hometowns or second residences. The places affected by these recommendations are: Viladecans, el Prat de Llobregat, Sant Joan Despí, Sant Boi de Llobregat, Cornellà, Sant Just Desvern, Esplugues de Llobregat, l'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Montcada i Rexach, Santa Coloma de Gramanet, Sant Adrià de Besós and Badalona.
