Matches with fans before the coronavirus pandemic stopped football are still being accounted for. The Guardian have published an Edge Health study showing the Manchester Derby on March 8 could have caused 37 deaths. 

Earlier the same group showed that Liverpool v Atletico Madrid caused 41 deaths.

 

City and United met at Old Trafford on March 8 and the Red Devils won with goals from Martial and McTominay. Three days later Liverpool played Atletico in the Champions League and after that everything was shut down.
