The Champions League quarter-finals will go ahead as scheduled amid an alleged terror threat, UEFA says.\n<\/p>\n

A media outlet linked to IS allegedly issued a threat concerning all four of this week’s ties.<\/p>\n

Two English clubs, Arsenal and Manchester City, are playing tonight in the Champions League quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

The Gunners will host the first leg of their last-eight tie at the Emirates Stadium against German giants Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

While Manchester City are in action away to Real Madrid where local reports said the roof was going to be closed for the game.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, there are two further games, one in Paris, between PSG and Barcelona, and a second game in Spain, between Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

In the clash in the French capital, the country’s interior minister said that security had been “considerably reinforced”.<\/p>\n

In a statement UEFA, Europe’s club football governing body, said: “UEFA is aware of alleged terrorist threats made towards this week’s UEFA Champions League matches and is closely liaising with the authorities at the respective venues.<\/p>\n

“All matches are planned to go ahead as scheduled with appropriate security arrangements in place.”<\/p>\n
