The 2027 Champions League final will be played at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, European football’s governing body UEFA announced on Thursday.
It will be the second time that Atletico Madrid’s home stadium has hosted the final of Europe’s elite club competition after Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur there in 2019.
Azerbaijan’s capital Baku had been the other candidate to host next season’s showpiece game, but UEFA opted for the Spanish capital following a meeting of its executive committee in Tirana.
