UEFA Champions League: Final One of the world’s most majestic sporting cathedrals, the San Siro in Milan, is the fitting venue for this epic European event. This is the fourth European Cup/Champions League Final hosted at the stadium following previous finals in 1965, 1970 and 2001 and the atmosphere at the 80,000 capacity stadium is sure to be electric. Last year’s Final took place in Berlin and saw a superb Barcelona side outwit Juventus to win by 3-1 but neutrals will be hoping that the 2016 Final goes all the way to the wire. If scores are level after 90 minutes, the game will go to 30 minutes of extra time and then a penalty shoot-out if the scores remain even.
