Liverpool cannot face RB Leipzig in Germany due to Covid-19 border restrictions George Flood Liverpool will be unable to travel to Germany for their Champions League last-16 first-leg meeting with RB Leipzig. The Reds were due to meet Leipzig in the first instalment of their two-legged European knockout tie at the Red Bull Arena on February 16, with the second leg to come at Anfield on March 10. However, Liverpool will be unable to enter Germany for that first-leg meeting due to new border restrictions imposed amid concerns over the rise of more Covid-19 variants. Last week, Germany announced entry restrictions - that came into effect on Saturday and will last until at least February 17 - on travellers from the United Kingdom as well as Brazil, Portugal and South Africa.
