Adopted by the National Assembly overnight from Sunday to Monday, the vaccine pass could have significant consequences on the knockout stages of the Champions League (as well as on European Rugby Cup matches, the Six Nations, or Roland Garros…).
Real Madrid players, like those of Chelsea (opponent respectively, of PSG and Lille), who will not have a complete vaccination schedule, will not be able to return to France.
Real Madrid like Chelsea, has not yet communicated
While the government had hinted that an exception would be made for top athletes, this is not the case. As Roxana Maracineanu explained yesterday. “As soon as the law is promulgated, it (the vaccination pass) will become compulsory to enter the ERP already subject to the health pass (stadium, theater or lounge) for all spectators, practitioners, French or foreign professionals “
If no names of players have been disclosed, in December, 68% of players in the Premier League alone were up to date with their two doses. In Spain, on the other hand, they were 92%.
So far, neither club has communicated on the presence of unvaccinated players in their squads. Before the Spanish Super Cup, the Spanish press estimated that at least one player in Real’s squad was not fully vaccinated.
