UEFA moves Champions League final from St Petersburg to Paris
UEFA has moved this year's Champions League final from St Petersburg to Paris in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, European football's governing body said in a statement on Friday (Feb 25).
París acogerá la final de la Champions League por el conflicto entre Rusia y Ucrania
ha sacudido al deporte, y en especial, al fútbol. San Petersburgo era la sede elegida para albergar la final de la Champions League el 28 de mayo, pero los últimos acontecimientos han obligado a la UEFA a cambiar de planes. Por eso París será la que finalmente alberge el gran evento.
In which Uefa and Manchester United attempt to untangle themselves
Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Uefa’s Road to St Petersburg has reached an inevitable impasse. Big Cup final, which had been due to be staged at the Gazprom-O-Dome, has now been moved to Paris, what with European football’s governing body deciding that it would be prudent to delegate some unfortunate minion to sit in the basement of Uefa Towers and forlornly burst all their “white nights” of St Petersburg knockout stage official Big Cup match balls, boasting high-grade butyl bladders, out of existence. The final will now be held at the Stade de France on 28 May and Uefa has thanked Emmanuel Macron for his role in helping them make the change.
