Have they cancelled the 2nd legs then?

Difficult to make travel plans in those circumstances.

The Europa final in in Poland,Gdansk, probably two British teams involved there too.

Does that mean that the duck has ended up with the cranberry?

Now talking of moving it to the UK......

Wembley has hosted two Champions League finals in the 2010's; is scheduled to host 8 matches for the Euros 2020 (the tournament where smaller nations were meant to host a game) including both semi-finals and a final; is the host for the 2022 women's Euros; is the host for the 2024 Champions League and is bidding to host 2030 World Cup.

Does Wembley/England really need the Champions League final in 2021?

Agreed, but I wonder if Spanish press were asking for the final between Real and Atletico Madrid to be moved to Spain or whether it's a British/English thing?

The circumstances were different. No one called for the Liverpool/Tottenham final to be moved. Or Man U/Chelsea. It does seem ridiculous for two English teams to fly to the other side of Europe to play a game behind closed doors. And it's inevitable that fans will travel when they really should not. At least if fans traveled to another city in England everyone could go home afterwards.

Cyprus comes out of a 2 week lockdown tomorrow. Plenty of Israeli and Russian tourists here already.

Bt usually show the final on free view
