Where Is The UEFA Champions League Final Played?

The UEFA Champions League Is played at a location picked even before the start of the tournament. The Champions League Final is originally designed to be played in a neutral location, but some teams have been lucky to have it played on their own turf or country, but History has proven that it does not have any bearing on the support each team will get during the game.

Tickets are allocated equally to fans of the two teams playing to make sure one team does not have undue advantage over another. Bayern Munich played a Champions League final against Chelsea in their stadium, the Allianz Arena and lost.

A similar feat befell Manchester United when they lost the Champions League Final in Wembley to Barcelona.

The 2021 UEFA Champions League tournament will return back to normal as the final is scheduled to be played in May. However, we can’t be sure  Covid-19 pandemic will not disrupt it again. We hope not.
