City and Chelsea are asking to change the final place of the "champions" .. Find out why

Spanish newspaper "AS" revealed today that the English clubs Manchester City and Chelsea have submitted a request to the European Football Association to change the venue of the Champions League final from Istanbul, Turkey, to Wembley Stadium in the British capital, London.

The newspaper said that the two clubs did not like the cold and discouraging response from the European Union, and that they were determined to press for the upcoming final on the 29th at Wembley Stadium.

She said that the main reason behind this request is that the two clubs consider that the current situation regarding the precautionary measures taken to prevent the Corona virus, which hinders foreign travel, in addition to the recent general closure in Turkey, would deprive 9 thousand of the English fans from the two teams from attending the match, besides that Even if some of them travel, there will be great fear that they will be infected again.

Although the closure in Turkey will be lifted on the 17th of this month, the two clubs confirm that general conditions do not help the final match succeed in the current manner, and will not contribute to the return of the fans to the stands.

And they confirmed that they are in contact with the English Federation in order to forcefully pressure the European Union to resolve this matter quickly.

It is noteworthy that City is playing its first final in its history, while it is the third final for Chelsea, who previously crowned the title in 2012 at the expense of Bayern, and lost in 2008 to his compatriot Man United.
