Come on Boris. 3 point lane would be perfect.

Budapest is planning in June 4 games at the Euros with full capacity. 67k people at Puskas Arena. Why not there?

Apparently White Hart Lane is a possible host, my god please let that he true.

Not true according to Spurs's mouthpiece.

On the Amber list at the moment. So assume this would come under leisure for fans in which case can't go and if did would have to quantine on return for 10 days. 

It'll either be Turkey with no fans or UK.. but I can't see the UK part happening so guess no fans it is

There will be a lot of talk about this game in the next three weeks. So I think for a big game like this match thread should be already open. How often do you play CL final? 

@Jas

Let's not break away from the norm. Let's try not to jinx anything. Take it one game at a time. 😉

I am worried now. To beat City 3 times in a month is a bit too much? 

[MoroccanBlue 5,399]

My opinion,

Christensen’s injury may be a blessing in disguise. Dave/Silva/Rudiger back three. James and Chilwell wingbacks. Start with Kovacic and Kante, bring Jorginho later on to regain control or to retain the ball better. Start Werner/Havertz/Mount, bring on a Pulisic and CHO against shaky City legs.

Liverpool (when they were still a 70's points team) did them three times on the spin in 17/18.

22500 is BS for a CL final. They could easily ramp that up to half capacity/45,000.

I would have hoped more assistance from the Wembley and the FA and FL.

They created merry hell about ESL, but fuck all about the numptys at EUFA, god I fucking hate that organisation.

Is it weird that I wanted us to draw or lose to City yesterday.. because I just can't see us beating them 3 times in a row?? The footballing superstitions are haunting my every sleep already.

UEFA 'set to hold talks with the UK Government TOMORROW about moving Champions League final from red-list Istanbul to Wembley... with decision on venue for Chelsea vs Manchester City set to be made on Tuesday'

Let common sense prevail, or at least be a first with them...

[NikkiCFC 8,516]

With two finals approaching penalties are very possible option. 

Our both finals in CL ended this way. 

Under Lampard we lost both times. SuperCup against Liverpool and this season in EFL Cup against Spurs. Both times he put young player to shot 5th penalty. Abraham and Mount. They both missed. Pressure will now be even bigger. So I hope Tuchel is aware of this and he puts most experienced players. 

We have great shooters. 

Jorginho, Azpi, Werner, Havertz and Ziyech would be my 5. I know Kai is young but he never missed penalty. Pulisic and Silva also. Rudiger is leader and has power in his foot.

Prospect of the final being moved from Crapatürk to Wembley is growing more likely. Would be a wise move and great for the fans to witness this. Wembley is the best location for a final anyway.
