Doha: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Uefa to switch the Champions League final to the UK - for the sake of the fans.
UK has added Turkey to its Covid Red list. Eventhough players and club staff might get exception, but fans who attend the final will have to undergo a 10 day hotel quarantine.
Johnson told SunSport that “the Champions League is the pinnacle of European club football. And with two English teams in the final, it would be a great shame if fans were unable to attend.”
“It would be brilliant to host it here if we can. I want to help supporters of both clubs see their team in action.”
