LOL! Forfeit! Points deduction! Automatic relegation!

Give us a laugh and explain on what grounds exactly they should be penalized.


Within the rules.
They shouldn't be penalized, I dont even blame then for requesting it after the shenanigans liverpool pulled on them a week earlier, but the league rule needs to be changed or interpreted differently going forward.

They had 1 covid case at the time of the request, they have a reserves and academy full of players. As was pointed out they loaned two players in the week prior to the game.

The premier league wouldnt move spurs game vs leicester the 3rd week of december, which would have allowed them to play Rennes in their final conference league group game, So the premier league effectively limited 1 of their own clubs from europe, and then was willing to move a game weeks later because arsenal loaned out some players and couldnt have a few academy players on the bench. It's a joke

La Liga has the rule of only 5 senior players being needed if academy players are also available and the clubs get on with it.
