Chelsea and Manchester City fans demand UEFA to move Champions League final from Istanbul to England after Turkey placed on Government red list changing venue 'makes sense on so many levels'

Fans of both Chelsea and Manchester City have called on UEFA to move the Champions League final to England after Turkey was put on the UK Government's 'red list'.

The May 29 final is currently planned to take place in Istanbul's Olympic Stadium but Turkey went into a new three-week full lockdown last week and the UK has responded by placing the country in the highest travel restrictions category.

The government ruling means anyone, including the players themselves, would have to quarantine for 10 days in a hotel upon returning to the UK - which puts England's European Championships preparations under serious threat.
