"Madrid will host the 2027 men's Champions League final - with Warsaw to stage the women's final. Atletico Madrid's 70,000-capacity Estadio Metropolitano has been awarded the men's showpiece after Milan's San Siro was stripped of the honour. Uefa decided to reopen bidding for the event amid concerns about refurbishment plans at the San Siro - and the match will now take place in the Spanish capital."
"Uefa took the decisions at a meeting of its executive committee in Tirana in Albania where it also discussed requests from Spain and Italy's football associations to play domestic league matches abroad but did not come to a decision on the issue. "The committee acknowledged it as an important and growing issue but expressed the desire to ensure that it has the views of all stakeholders before coming to a final decision," said a Uefa statement."
