After more than nine months, and over 200 games, fans are eagerly awaiting for the finale to know who will win the title this year.

Premier League champions City are looking to win the prestigious competition for the first time.

Chelsea, European champions in 2012, has defeated Pep Guardiola's side twice in the league and FA Cup in 2020-21.

The final was scheduled to take place at Istanbul's Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Turkey but was moved earlier this month to the Portuguese city of Porto because of Covid-19 restrictions.

Portugal is on England's green list for travel, so players and fans can attend without having to quarantine on their return home. Turkey is on the red list.

It is for the second consecutive time that the final has been held in Portugal, with Lisbon the location for the delayed final stages of last season's competition.

Up to 16,500 people will be allowed inside Porto's Estadio do Dragao ground to watch.
