In this interview, we will be covering alongside our guest Gustavo Gabarda, sport analyst and consultant for UEFA (Union of European Football Associations, where he explains how COVID-19 has affected the football landscape. Not only institutions like UEFA or small clubs in minor leagues have been dramatically damaged by this pandemic outbreak, but also big clubs like F.C. Barcelona or Real Madrid. Teams are being forced to cut wages in order to maintain a healthy financial situation. We also discuss the effect on players' decision to move from one team to another, due to the uncertainty is creating on when leagues plan to be back in action, and how safe that's going to be. Additionally, how executives of the big leagues will be deciding on what are the next steps: push back all competitions, like it's been done with the Olympics, or end all them with the current rankings.
