Spanish club Granada received a huge boost on Tuesday as they can host English giants Manchester United at their Los Carmenes stadium in the Europa League quarter finals.

The Spanish government announced on Tuesday that their travel ban on arrivals from the UK would be lifted on 30 March, allowing the match to go ahead as planned in the Spanish capital.

The decision means that the Andalusian side will be able to host the Red Devils in their home stadium rather than having to seek alternative arrangements to host the match outside Spain.

The decision also means that Real Madrid will be able to host Liverpool in Madrid in their Champions League quarter final clash.
