Despite the coronavirus pandemic, Galatasaray took on Besiktas in Turkey's Super Lig.

Most football leagues around the world stand suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. While English football fans eagerly awaited Tottenham Hotspur hosting Manchester United this weekend, Indian football fans were all set for one last I-league Kolkata derby between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal before the big ATK merger. Neither of those fixtures happened.
