Barcelona's vital Champions League game at Bayern Munich next week will be played without fans as new restrictions are introduced in Bavaria aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.
The German government has reacted to rising infection rates by imposing a 50% capacity limit on sporting stadia, with outdoor venues capped at a maximum of 15,000 fans.
Bavaria, one of the 16 states in the country, has gone one step further, though, by deciding all matches should be played behind closed doors for the foreseeable future.
Germany reported more than 73,000 new cases on Thursday while another 390 deaths were recorded -- the highest daily figure since early March which brought the overall death toll to over 102,000.
In the event Barca and Benfica finish level on points -- if Barca draw in Munich and Benfica win -- the Portuguese side will advance courtesy of their superior head-to-head record.
