UEFA is finalizing plans with Portugal to act as replacement host for the all-English Champions League final between Chelsea and Manchester City.
The 50,000-capacity Est&aacute;dio do Dragao in Porto has been lined up as the venue for the May 29 final after talks with the British government stopped on Monday to use Wembley Stadium.
UEFA has been unable to secure the quarantine exemptions required for media and guests to be able to fly into London for the climax of its biggest competition, despite the government talking up trying to bring the game to Wembley.
Portugal will also have to lift its current block on tourists from Britain to allow an influx of fans, and guarantee UEFA can secure entry for the personnel required.

With cricket bearing the brunt of Covid-19 since March 2020, the England and Wales Cricket Board has recorded losses worth 16.1 million pounds, translating to nearly ₹143 crores&nbsp;during that period.
Chief financial officer at the ECB, Scott Smith, said that this has been a challenging year, but by being able to stage international cricket and by taking decisive action early in the pandemic, they have been able to support the network and avoid a far worse financial scenario.
He added that the impact was largely due to the postponement of ECB&rsquo;s new competition, The Hundred, until 2021 and the additional costs of creating bio-secure environments to host international cricket in a pandemic environment.
