Coronavirus outbreak sees Champions League and Europa League finals postponed

Both the Champions League and Europa League finals have been postponed until June due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.

The finals had been scheduled to take place in May, but the dates have since been revised.

The Champions League final could now be held on June 27, three days after the Europa League final, which has also been postponed.

The coronavirus pandemic has already disrupted the two European competitions this season, with fixtures currently suspended.

A UEFA statement read: "In the light of developments due to the spread of COVID-19 in Europe and related decisions made by different governments, all UEFA club competitions matches scheduled next week are postponed.
