According to media reports, these two games will be canceled without replacement, so RB Leipzig is already in the quarter-finals. UEFA’s decision is to be officially communicated later today.
The Germans had already expected the cancellation, and appropriate consultations had been going on for days. “We continue to be in close contact with the associations and have complete confidence in UEFA and their decision,” said RB CEO Oliver Mintzlaff recently. A trip from Spartak to Leipzig is difficult, if only because of the blocking of European airspace for Russian aircraft.
