Saint-Denis will host the final in Stade de France, located north of Paris. It has a capacity of more than 80,000 spectators, making it one of the largest stadiums in Europe.
Built to host the 1998 FIFA World Cup matches, the Stade de France is home to the national soccer and rugby teams. The first match stadium was a friendly between France and Spain on January 28, 1998, in which Zinédine Zidane scored the only winning goal for the locals, who won 1-0.
The 'Bleus' beat Brazil 3-0 at the Stade de France in the 1998 World Cup final, and the stadium was once the spotlight of the football world in 2000 when it was the stage of the UEFA Champions League final, in which Real Madrid beat Valencia 3-0 thanks to goals.
The EURO 2016 final also took place at the Stade de France, where the hosts lost 1-0, with Eder scoring in extra-time against Portugal.
If the score is equal at the last of regulation time, two more periods of 15 minutes are played. If scores of one team goals more than the other team during spare time, that team is declared the champion.
If the result is still equal at the end of extra time, the winner will be decided by a penalty shootout.
The UEFA Champions League Trophy is 73.5 cm high and weighs 7.5 kg. "It may not be a work of art, but the entire football world is looking forward to getting their hands on it," creator Jurg Stadelmann said.
The winning team receives 40 gold medals and the runner-up 40 silver medals.
2022/23 UEFA Champions League, the champion is also assured in a group if they have not qualified through their domestic competition.
The nominal local team was decided by a draw held for administrative purposes on March 18. For the final, the 'home' team is the winner of semi-final 2: Liverpool.
The two finalists will be able to wear the colors of their first kits, but in the event of a match, the club designated as the away team must wear a piece of alternative equipment.
