It is the ground where, six years ago, Jurgen Klopp led the Reds to their sixth major Euro title with a 2-0 victory over Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham.

And the final for the 2026/27 campaign is now returning to the home of Atletico – following on from this year’s final at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary.

Uefa announced Madrid as the venue today despite it having originally been slated for the San Siro in Milan.

They ruled out the iconic Italian stadium last year despite giving the city of Milan extra time to comply with hosting requirements.

It will be the sixth time the Spanish capital has hosted a Champions League final with only London’s Wembley hosting it more with eight.

The most recent London final was in 2024 where Jude Bellingham’s Real Madrid saw off Borussia Dortmund 2-0.

A record number of six English teams will be in contention to try and reach Budapest this campaign with Liverpool joined by Arsenal , Chelsea , Manchester City, Newcastle and Tottenham.

Elsewhere, the 2027 Women's Champions League final will be hosted by Warsaw's National Stadium in Poland, while the 2026 Super Cup will take place in Salzburg, Austria.

Arsenal Women are the current European reigning champions, beating Barcelona 1-0 in Lisbon back in May.

The Gunners will be hoping to regain their crown for the first time with the Women’s Champions League final this year being at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Norway next May.

The men's side begins their Champions League campaign next week with a trip to Athletic Bilbao.

This is then followed by two home fixtures against Olympiacos and Atletico Madrid .

Liverpool start their attempt to win their seventh honour against Atletico at Anfield on September 17.

The Reds then have fixtures against Galatasaray, Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Madrid.
