Champions League Final Chelsea vs Manchester City going to Wembley

May 10 2021

Due to Istanbul being placed on the UK red list because of COVID-19, the government had been trying to move the Champions League to England ever since. Transport secretary Grant Schapps stated that placing Turkey on the red list would have ramifications. The decision boils down to Uefa, and they were eager to keep the positive track record with spectators.

The move to Wembley from Istanbul was apparently successful, with the decision being confirmed in the coming days. The EFL are ready to move playoff games to different venues in order for the Champions League final to take place. The capacity at Wembley is set to be raised to 22,500 fans.
