The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has announced that it is moving the Champion League final to Portugal for the second year running due to Turkey being added to the United Kingdom's "red list" of countries with severe coronavirus outbreaks.

The all-English affair between Manchester City and Chelsea will be played on 29th May, at Estadio do Dragon, home of FC Porto with both sides set to receive an allocation of six thousand (6,000) tickets.

The UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said "Fans have had to suffer more than twelve months without the ability to see their teams live and reaching a Champions League final is the pinnacle of club football,"

"To deprive those supporters of the chance to see the match in person was not an option and I am delighted that this compromise has been found."
