UEFA announced on June 17 that due to the spread of Covid-19, the remaining stages of the Champions League would change significantly, format-wise.

The quarter-finals, semi-finals and final stages will be played in a single-leg format instead of the traditional two-legged format, beginning on August 12, 2020 running to August 23, 2020.

Additionally, the games will no longer be played at each stadium's respective home venues. They will be played at neutral venues in Portugal: the Estadio da Luz and Estadio Jose Alvalade.  All matches are set to be played behind closed doors.
