MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid's Champions League quarter-final first leg at home to Liverpool in April will not have to be moved abroad after the Spanish government said on Tuesday it would lift restrictions on flights from Britain at the end of this month.

The restrictions began in December over concerns about a British strain of COVID-19 and forced Atletico Madrid to play the home leg of their last-16 tie against Chelsea in Bucharest.
