Champions League final moved to Paris

The 2022 Champions League final will be played in Paris after Russia was stripped of the match following the nation’s invasion of Ukraine.

The final of Europe’s most prestigious club competition was due to be played in St Petersburg on 28 May in Russia.

Following a meeting on Friday, Uefa confirmed the match would not be held at the Gazprom Arena.

Instead, the European football governing body has decided it will be held at the Stade de France in Paris.
