The first match is scheduled for February 18 in Belgrade, and there isn't a Red Star fan who doens't want to finally be at the stadium and support coach Dejan Stankovic's team against Milan

However, everything will depend on the course of coronavirus pandemic, but the imagination of Red Star fans was sparked by one of the prominent members of the Crisis HQ, epidemiologist Dr. Predrag Kon, who expressed hope on B92 TV that the situation would improve by February.

"I can only express my hope. I am a cruel optimist, by nature. My effort to have as few people as possible infected is the consequence of the fact that I believe it can be done. I also believe that everything can be improved. I believe that it will be possible to go to the games by then, I sincerely hope that it will be so," Kon told B92 TV.

However, Kon warned that there were no guarantees.

"It all depends on how the virus will behave. All of humanity has not caputred it so it wouldn't be surprising us all the time. The virus simply ... won't let go," added Kon.
