Where is the Champions League final?
The 2021-22 Champions League final was originally set to take place at Gazprom Arena in Saint Petersburg, Russia. However, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, UEFA took the decision to strip the country of its hosting duties.
Instead, the match will take place at Stade de France just outside of Paris. It will be the third time the stadium has hosted the Champions League final, having previously held the event in 2000 and 2006.
Who will play in the Champions League final?
The match will see Real Madrid take on Liverpool in a matchup between two of Europe’s best teams in recent seasons.
Liverpool got past Villarreal in one semifinal, while in the other last-four tie, Real Madrid defeated Manchester City with a dramatic comeback.
It will be a rematch of the 2018 final, in which Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 3-1 behind a pair of goals from Gareth Bale and another from Karim Benzema.
The match will be remembered for Sergio Ramos injuring Liverpool star Mohamed Salah by wrestling him down in the first half, followed by a pair of major goalkeeping errors from Liverpool’s Loris Karius to gift Madrid two goals.
