According to CCTV5 program list (January 4, 2024), the final of the European Champions League, the highest honor of European football, will be held at the French Stadium in Paris at the end of this month, which is the latest decision made by UEFA under the influence of the epidemic. Originally, the final of this European Cup was held in St. Petersburg, Russia. However, due to the unstable epidemic situation in Russia and the travel restrictions imposed by Britain on Russia, UEFA had to make changes and move the final to the capital of France.

This is undoubtedly good news for the two teams in the final, because they both come from the English Premier League, namely Manchester City and Chelsea. These two teams have performed well in the Champions League this season, knocking out Paris Saint Germain and Real Madrid respectively and reaching the final of the Champions League. This is also the second time that after 2019, there was a Champions League civil war between the English Premier League teams. At that time, it was the battle between Liverpool and Spurs, and finally Liverpool won the championship 2-0.

For Manchester City, this is the first time in their history that they have reached the Champions League final, and it is also their biggest goal under the investment of the Middle East consortium. Manchester City has won the Premier League and the League Cup this season. If they can win the Champions League again, they can achieve the first treble in the history of the club. Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola is also eager to reach the top of Europe again. The last time he led the team to win the Champions League was in 2011, when he led Barcelona.

For Chelsea, this is the third time they have reached the final of the Champions League. They won the championship in 2012, when they defeated Bayern Munich in the penalty shootout, becoming the fourth team in England to win the Champions League. After the change of coach in the middle of this season, Chelsea ushered in a recovery. They eliminated Atletico Madrid, Porto and Real Madrid in the Champions League knockout match, showing a strong defensive and tactical literacy. Chelsea's head coach Tuhel also has the power to make up for his regret. He led Paris Saint Germain to the Champions League final last season, but failed to defeat Bayern Munich and won the championship.

The change of the venue of the Champions League final also gave the fans of the two teams a good news, that is, they had the opportunity to watch the game on site. UEFA has announced that it will allocate 6000 final tickets to the fans of the two teams, so that they can go to the French Stadium in Paris to cheer for their teams. This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for fans who have been away from the stadium for a long time during the epidemic, and it is also a reward for their loyal support.

The Champions League final will be played at the French Stadium in Paris at 21:00 p.m. on May 29 (3:00 a.m. on May 30 Beijing time). At that time, CCTV5 will bring live broadcast to the audience. Please pay attention.
