Summary

Following the big UEFA meeting, we are here with reaction to what has come from European football's governing body after they took the step to postpone the summer's major tournament, Euro 2020. As well as altering the dates for the international football tournament, an indication has been given as to when they would hope to see the conclusion of the domestic season, with June 30 outlined as the final date of the 2019/20 campaign. Guy Clarke and Matt Addison give their take on whether or not Liverpool, who are on the verge of their Premier League title, could really have completed their programme by July. Plus there's news on when the Champions League and Europa League could be ended and whether or not the possibility of playing behind closed doors comes into the picture. Enjoy.
