UEFA is considering switching the all-English Champions League final from the Ataturk Stadium to Wembley due to coronavirus restrictions placed on travel to Turkey.
If Manchester City and Chelsea were to have their match moved to London it would be the ninth time Europe’s premier club final has been held in England, with Wembley hosting seven of the previous finals.
Here the PA news agency looks at the other occasions the country has hosted European club football’s showpiece event.
