still has merit. I am super curious to see how PSG handles champions? At least the BuLi, La Liga and EPL teams will have had some framework of games to judge themselves against but that will have to be balanced with the level of injuries that occur.

I just can't see how PSG will be competitive after a 5 month layoff. Sure, they will play friendlies but that is nowhere near the insane pace of Champions. Having said that, if tons of guys get injured playing 3 games a week (even with 5 subs) it may not matter. Such a crazy time. Before Covid, my picks for Champions were either Bayern or PSG. Now, it's anyone's guess.

Curious

Because I haven't looked, but I assume the ban for City isn't in play for this extended CL, which is technically going into next season's dates.

Was the City ban date bound or season bound? I don't know.
Doesn't apply to 19/20 season

Just means they are not allowed to qualify based on 19/20 table finish. So, it's bound to the 20/21 season. I'm pretty sure they apply 'season' labels when they do these. But...who knows. Maybe it's a loophole.
Yeah

I only asked because it appears there was a loophole with the Astros punishment, because the language wasn't clear enough.

If there is no baseball this year (although there may still be), it doesn't matter, Hinch and the GM are good to go in the Spring of 2021 if they want to work for an organization.
Now we know the source of the corona virus.

Can those guys confirm they haven't been to Wuhan recently?
