Will Champions League final be moved to Wembley? UEFA’s Man City vs Chelsea dilemma explained

Europe's football governing body has a decision to make following pressure from fan groups to move the decider

A fascinating dilemma emerged for UEFA just a number of weeks before the 2021 Champions League final.

The confirmation on May 5 of an all-Premier League final between Manchester City and Chelsea, coupled with the fact that Turkey was added the England's Covid-19 travel 'red list' on May 7 prompted calls for the game to be moved.

With two English teams competing for the trophy, fan groups and government officials have made a case for the decider to be moved to a venue in England instead.
