In England, a current of opinion was created, especially among politicians, who questioned whether the match could be held with fans and even blamed the Atlético fans for causing a spike in cases in the city.
However, the 'Liverpool Echo' states that most Liverpool fans believe that Atleti's fans are not responsible for the spike as they believe that the 3,000 fans that went to Anfield did not have a significant impact on their coronavirus cases.
Many Liverpool citizens recall on social media that the virus was already in the city and was spreading through the city for months before the peak.
They also state there were other mass events in Liverpool such as the half marathon, which would have helped the spreading, not just the Champions League match.
However, not all citizens clear the Atlético fans, as the aforementioned source points out. Some do think that the arrival of the Atlético fans in Liverpool did have an impact.
