The return match of the 1/16 stage for the Champions League Liverpool-Atletico Madrid 2-4 has caused the death of 41 people.

This is the conclusion reached by the National Health Service in the UK, after conducting a study for the March 11 meeting where the Spaniards surprisingly eliminated the reigning European champions.

Although in Spain and several other European countries measures had been taken to ensure that the matches took place without fans, the English authorities in Liverpool allowed the match to be played with fans. That match was watched by 54 thousand people, where 3 thousand were Atletico Madrid fans.

Following this meeting, the number of people infected with coronavirus and victims increased significantly in Liverpool.

Another match that is suspected to have caused many casualties from coronavirus is Atalanta-Valencia 4-1, played at the "San Siro" on February 19, a match valid for the Champions League.

Today, England has about 36,000 deaths from COVID-19.
