UEFA clarify Champions League final plans after uncertainty over Istanbul

UEFA insist the Champions League final WILL take place in Istanbul on June 10 - despite uncertainty over Turkey's political situation.

The Ataturk Olympic Stadium is set to host the match for a second time, having notably staged the 2005 Champions League final which saw Liverpool complete a remarkable comeback to beat AC Milan on penalties.

The stadium was also due to host the 2020 Champions League final where Bayern Munich beat PSG 1-0. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic the final was moved to the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon as UEFA staged a 'final eight knock-out tournament' in Portugal to minimise the need for travel.
