ESPN

Really makes sense since both finalists are English clubs

quote:

The UEFA Champions League final between Man. City & Chelsea will be held at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto.


quote:

The Champions League final between Manchester City and Chelsea slated to be played in Istanbul on May 29 is likely to be moved from the Turkish city, sources have told ESPN, with UEFA and the English FA in talks over staging the game in England after the UK government's decision to place Turkey on its travel red list.


quote:

In an announcement on Friday, the UK announced that any arrivals from Turkey would have to isolate at an airport hotel for 10 days, without exception, due to the increasing COVID-19 levels in the country.

I thought I saw UEFA say this wasn’t happening already but who really knows.

Honestly it would be pretty fricked up if they don’t move it to wembley. It’s one simple thing they could do for the fans. How nice would it be to watch a match again on tv with the fans from both clubs in the stands? Make it happen uefa.

That said, because it’s such a no-brainer uefa will find a way to frick it up.
