    Some media are advancing that UEFA will eliminate Spartak Moscow from the Europa League. UEFA should cancel the tie between the Russian team and Leipzig, causing the German team to automatically qualify for the quarter-finals.

    But the official announcement is still missing, to know if there will be this elimination or not by UEFA.
    If that happens then I think Spartak Moscow will be at a huge disadvantage, but that's a possible consequence they can accept due to inadequate security. Matches may be played in other countries or UEFA may arrange for them to be played at the same stadium for two legs as only in Leipzig or another safe place. Honestly I'm curious about this matter, but anything is possible if UEFA decides it's like this season's Champions League final.



    Sadly no, no matter who says what they say about sports being outside politics, Moscow Spartak will suffer a technical defeat, it seems this has already been confirmed, and all teams do not want to play with Russian players, not only at club level, but also at national team level. So Leipzig go through to the quarter. It appears that Leipzig have a lot more time to prepare for their next games in the Europa League
    UEFA made a terrible decision or did they make a good one? That's up for debate! Now, sports has politics involved. The question is, can Ukraine participate in any sporting events given the attack on their country? It seems unlikely. Therefore, let's neutralize everything so Ukraine can resume playing sports. European football's governing body disqualified Spartak Moscow from the Europa League. Leipzig will, therefore, automatically qualify for the quarterfinals. RBL shouldn't gain from this, they should have played any one of their opponents.
