Spanish football's return will allow people to feel a sense of normality again but it may also serve as a reminder of an uncomfortable new reality, AFP reported La Liga president Javier Tebas as saying.

Spain's top division is set to restart on June 11 and to be completed on July 19, yet the expectation is players will be subjected to safety protocol for several months and stadiums will not be full again until next year.

In the short-term at least, its reemergence could offer some comfort.

“There is no doubt the resumption of football will contribute to a general sense of relief among certain groups of people, who have been struggling with the pandemic,” David Moscoso, a specialist in sports sociology, told AFP.
