Getafe chief Villaverde: Play Inter Milan Euro clash at neutral venue

Getafe director general Clemente Villaverde says they should play the first-leg of their Europa League round 16 tie with Inter Milan at a neutral venue.

It was not played this week as it has been postponed by UEFA due to the coronavirus and the solution could be to play a one-off match at a neutral site.

That's the view of Villaverde.

"The solution will be decided shortly," he said at a press conference.

"We're waiting for UEFA to tell us their solution.

"We thank UEFA for the help and the understanding, as they've understood the circumstances that were surrounding these two matches.

"We back their decision.

"The first thing now is to see if there will be two legs or one.

"We know that UEFA are studying where to play.

"With the problem being that these matches were due to be held in Milan and in Madrid, the logical thing given the circumstances would be that we won't play in cities where there is a problem.

"We need to find a place and a solution."
