UEFA 'almost certain' to switch Champions League final away from St Petersburg

UEFA are in talks over switching this season's Champions League final away from Saint Petersburg, according to the BBC.

On Tuesday, many countries introduced sanctions against Russia in response to Vladimir Putin's recognition of separatist regions in Ukraine.

Given the current political climate in Europe, UEFA are 'almost certain' to move the location of the 2021/22 Champions League final in May to another venue.

UK Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said: "I have concerns about sporting events due to be held in Russia, such as the Champions League final, and will discuss it with the relevant governing bodies."
