Paris Saint Germain midfielder Ander Herrera did not mince his words when describing playing in Sunday's Champions League final without supporters and urged people around the world to be responsible so fans can return to stadiums as soon as possible.
Bayern Munich beat PSG 1-0 in an empty Estadio da Luz to end a European season defined by the new coronavirus pandemic, which caused all major leagues to be either suspended altogether or postponed and then completed without spectators.
As organizers hailed the success of the Champions League Final Eight tournament in Portugal and its Europa League equivalent in Germany, Herrera bluntly emphasized the need for spectators to return to matches.
The Spaniard recognized the commercial and entertainment benefits of the competition going ahead but said organizers needed to be aware of how important fans were to the spectacle.
