WRITTEN BY: CHIOMA MADONNA NDUKWU

The Islamic State (ISIS) has threatened to attack all four UEFA Champions League quarter-final matches this week, causing heightened security concerns across Europe.

The warning, issued by ISIS through their mouthpiece Al-Azaim Foundation, included a banner with the slogan “Kill them all” next to the names of the stadiums hosting the matches. Despite the threat, UEFA has confirmed that all matches will proceed as scheduled with increased security measures in place.

Authorities in affected cities, particularly Madrid, have significantly bolstered security measures, deploying over 2,000 National Police and Civil Guard agents. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich’s manager, Thomas Tuchel, has highlighted Arsenal players Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka as key threats ahead of their Champions League quarter-final clash.
