Compared to the serious consequences that a conflict between Russia and Ukraine could have, football does not weigh much.

However, UEFA is forced to be concerned about the effects of the current rise in tensions, especially since the 2022 Champions League final is scheduled for May 28 in Saint Petersburg.

Well, for the moment… because the Gazprom Arena in the second Russian city will probably not host this meeting if the situation worsens further.

According to the British newspaper 

Daily Star

the match could be staged at Wembley.

The final already moved last year

The European body had already moved the final of its flagship competition last year.

Due to strong travel restrictions between the United Kingdom and Turkey, the English duel between Chelsea and Manchester City (1-0), initially scheduled for Istanbul, finally took place in Porto.
