Social media posts linked to the terrorist group ISIS threatened violence at this week’s Champions League quarterfinals, but UEFA, European soccer’s governing body, said Tuesday it’s not changing the schedule.
Games on the board are in London, Paris and Madrid.
“UEFA is aware of alleged terrorist threats made toward this week’s Champions League matches and is closely liaising with the authorities at the respective venues,” the organization said in a statement. “All matches are planned to go ahead as scheduled with appropriate security arrangements in place.”
Arsenal hosts Bayern Munich in London on Tuesday while Manchester City plays Real Madrid in Spain. The quarterfinals will continue Wednesday as Paris Saint-Germain faces visiting Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid hosts Dortmund.
“Who isn’t worried or concerned by terrorist threats?” Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique said in a press conference, according to ESPN. “I hope that it is something that we can control, that will only be a threat and nothing more.”
