Meanwhile, the Spanish La Liga will be able to resume from the week beginning 8th June, after Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez recently gave the green light for football within the country to return from that date.
La Liga has been postponed since March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
With 11 matches of the 2019-2020 season remaining, Barcelona are currently two points ahead of fierce rivals Real Madrid.
Also, La Liga President Javier Tebas is hoping to kickstart the season with the blockbuster Seville derby involving Sevilla and Real Betis.
"There is the possibility that there will be a match on the 11th of June, which would be a unique match, with a possible tribute for all the deceased. I wish that date could be confirmed. We would like it to be the Seville derby, at 10 at night," Tebas said on a show.
"Our idea is to be able to confirm the dates for the first four matchdays this coming week. The hours will depend on where the game is played, it will always be taken into account. During the week, the schedules will be late. On weekends, there will be three schedules," he added.
