Before the first quarter-final matches of the Champions League, the expected football spectacles got a negative prelude in the form of terrorist threats from the Islamic State. Tonight, the Spanish media reported the threat of ISIS, who allegedly announced attacks on the stadiums where the quarter-final matches of the elite European competition will be played. As reported by Marca, The Islamic State, through its foundation Al Azaim, has published a graphic featuring four threatened stadiums: Emirates, Parc des Princes, Metropolitano, and Santiago Bernabeu with the message “Kill them All”. However, the Spanish newspaper also emphasizes that there is no reason to panic.🚨 BREAKING : ISIS terrorist group have launched a new threat against the four stadiums that will host the Champions League quarterfinals this week.

The Spanish Ministry of the Interior had designated the match as high-risk. A new meeting of security services in Madrid is scheduled for Tuesday morning to discuss the possible introduction of additional security measures. Spain believes that, despite the threats, the match organization and the match itself will proceed without incidents, given the numerous similar sports events organized earlier. However, the threats have influenced a change in perspective regarding sports event organization in the next two days.UCL: Don’t know what the exact question is, but the answer is definitely RudigerDuring the evening between Monday and Tuesday, only Spanish media focused on the threats, while there was no reaction from England and Germany. However, the concern of the people of Madrid is justified, especially considering that the Spanish capital will host two major matches within 24 hours. The day after the Real vs. City match, Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will take the field, which further complicates the organization. As Spanish ‘AS’ reports, more than 3,000 soldiers will be involved in maintaining peace and security in Madrid over the next two days, and approximately 8,000 City and Dortmund fans are expected in the Spanish capital.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – QUARTER-FINALSFirst legTuesday22:00: (1.80) Arsenal (3.70) Bayern (5.00)22:00: (2.85) Real Madrid (3.50) Man.City (2.55)Wednesday22:00: (1.85) Atl.Madrid (3.60) Dortmund (4.80)22:00: (2.05) PSG (3.60) Barcelona (3.80)***odds are subject to change***
