When and where will the 2019-20 UCL final take place...

The most premium football competition in Europe returns to Istanbul (you have heard of a great comeback, haven't you?)

The Atatürk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul would hold the final game of the 65th edition of the competition which will be held on 30 May, 2020. Some say, history repeats itself. For football purists and fans alike, there would be nothing better if we get another nail biting finale in Turkey.
