BREAKING NEWS: Champions League to conclude with eight-team Lisbon tournament, UEFA confirms

Benfica's Estadio da Luz

The Champions League will be completed with an eight-team tournament hosted in Lisbon, UEFA has confirmed.

UEFA's Executive Committee gave the green light for Portugal's capital to host a condensed finish to Europe's premier competition on Wednesday, with the tournament having been halted by the coronavirus pandemic in March.

Quarter-final matches will take place across four nights from August 12-16, with last-four games contested August 18-19, and the showpiece to be held at Benfica's Estadio da Luz on August 23.

The quarter-final and semi-final contests will have just one leg as opposed to the traditional two, Sporting CP's Estadio Jose Alvalade also hosting fixtures.
