Urgent .. The transfer of the Champions League final from Russia and the destination is "surprising"

The European Football Association (UEFA) has stripped the Russian city of Saint Petersburg of hosting the Champions League final following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and awarded it today to the Stade de France in the French capital, Paris.

The final match of the most important continental competition will be held on May 28 in the stadium in the suburbs of Paris, which hosted the 2006 final that Barcelona won at the expense of Arsenal.

The choice of Paris is surprising to many, as media reports have spoken strongly in the previous days about choosing Wembley Stadium in the British capital, London, and other cities that were not Paris among them.
