Should the CL Final be moved to England? - Moved to Portugal

Won't happen UEFA are quite stubborn even if it makes sense. Moreover, would you want City winning the Champion's League at Old Trafford?
I agree, I think it should be moved to Stamford bridge
100% it should be moved. Could play it at Anfield or Villa Park.
there’s not going to be that many fans allowed anyway - given the pandemic, it’s ridiculous for any fans to be thinking about going to turkey.
UEFA won’t think logically about it though.

Can we have the Europa in England if Arsenal win too?
Anywhere but Old Trafford.
But it should definitely be in the UK. Is the Millennium Stadium still a nightingale hospital? If not, then it is big enough to allow a good number of fans with social distancing. Anfield too.
Or what is the possibility of Twickenham? IIRC it's never hosted a football match before. If they can convert it to host the NFL, then I'm sure they could lay a football pitch down.

where is it currently meant to be held?
Could it not be moved to Bagdad or downtown Kabul?
If I was representing Istanbul I would push for this. Hosting a final with limited capacity is a waste of time. El Plastico is the most soulless final ever. Get dibs on a later final when the pandemic is over and there hopefully are proper teams in the final.
what about Ibrox ?
100 % dont want it at OT , the thought of either winning at OT is just unbearable.

The final was originally scheduled to be played at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium in Seville, Spain. However, due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final to Cologne, the final hosts were shifted back a year, with Gdańsk instead hosting the 2021 final,
Gdansk, Poland. EDIT: Too slow.
thanks @pauldyson1uk
If Arsenal get through, his should deffo be moved to England as well. Just common sense. If they don’t make it, then it’s as good a neutral venue as any.
It doesn't even need to be a big stadium due to there being so few fans invited so just somewhere easily accessible for both groups of fans, maybe the Molineux or King Power. Turkey's getting ravaged by covid, time for some common sense.
Everyone knows the venue is set years back, is an honour, and all that stuff.
It's one thing if it was just the two sets of teams travelling, but if they're really entertaining the idea of fans going, it's breathtakingly foolish.

It's not going to happen for a multitude of contractual reasons.
Must be joking at Anfield, sure that would go smooth
...Has to be Wembley or the Emirates... For comedy value
What's the point in moving it?
Barely any tickets available. Basically half of Britain has had their first dose of vaccine, like 15 million have had two doses. Where's the danger in going to Turkey? More likely to get sunburn than Covid.

of course YES, it would be the most logical solution, so it won't happen, same thing for the eventual EL final.
nah, feck'em
took me about a month to get flight and a hotel for Moscow, its all part of the experience

Move it to OT and we'll get it called off
This. Fans don't even have to show their club allegiance.
Makes sense which is why it won't happen. UEFA law on too themselves. Covid should play a part but because of contract agreements it won't be possible.
Yes.
Absolute madness to engineer a situation where fans of 2 English clubs are made to fly out from the UK to attend a game in Turkey where covid is going through the roof.
Also makes to sense in environmental terms by needlessly putting planes in the air and dumping pollution in the upper atmosphere wher3 it does the most harm.
UEFA‘s a self serving organisation that has not so much as once gram of moral fibre.

For either of these sugar Daddy clubs to win it, it will be perfect if they win it in a soulless stadium with no fans.
But they can move it to Outer Mongolia for all I care. This place is perfect, plastic pitch and only a 5000 capacity.

They haven't just announced Istanbul as the location, no need for the hyperbole.
They have know it was in Istanbul all season, there is more pollution from the cars and buses taking fans to the airport than is put out by the aircraft that will take them, a car emits more CO2 than the average plane because they consume more energy to transport the same amount of passengers.
El Plastico needs a plastic pitch. The trophy should be a plastic imitation this year too.For either of these sugar Daddy clubs to win it, it will be perfect if they win it in a soulless stadium with no fans.

Has to be relocated now, right? Give it to Istanbul next year (which they already did this year, I believe). Maybe give it to them 2 years on the bounce to compensate?
Why is it in Istanbul anyway? They've had in when Liverpool won it
Christ, would be torture for Spurs’ fans to have to watch Chelsea win the Champions League in their stadium.
Perfect. City and Chelsea playing in an empty ground for the CL is as absolutely fitting.
They better not even dare play this game at Old Trafford. United fans wouldn’t allow it anyway. We’d break into the ground to prevent it.

UEFA insisting this be in Turkey is so daft... a welcome reminder of how stupid UEGA are/how little they care about the fans in case anyone needed a reminder after the EL fiasco
Villa Park?
UEFA say they need to reflect on the news. It'll be moved I reckon.
