The Champions League final, Manchester City-Chelsea (May 29), is expected to take place in Porto. The Associated Press agency, taken up by several specialized media, evokes this possibility. Initially planned in Istanbul, the poster was relocated because of the Covid-19.

Turkey, with a strong coronavirus contamination, is placed on the red list of countries at risk. This is how England expressed the wish to host the poster between its two clubs at Wembley. But UEFA would have chosen the Portuguese city.

If the option is chosen, Portugal will host for the second time in a row the final of the Champions League, played last year in Lisbon. For the dispossessed Turkish city, on the other hand, this is the second failure in a row after precisely that of 2020
