In an all-English Champions League final Manchester City or Chelsea will be crowned champions of Europe in Porto, Portugal today.
The Premier League champions City are looking to win the prestigious competition for the first time.
Chelsea, European champions in 2012 have beaten Pep Guardiola's side twice in the League and in the FA Cup in 2020-21.
Up to 16,500 people will be allowed inside the Estadio do Dragao Grounds to watch.
The final will be decided on the same day with 30 minutes of extra time and then penalties if required.
Each side will be allowed five substitutions, with a sixth permitted for each side if the final goes to extra time.
The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system will be used, while City have been designated the 'home' team, which means they will play in their traditional sky blue and white colours. City's Spanish boss Guardiola is looking to win the Champions League for a third time after steering Barcelona to triumphs in 2009 and 2011.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is seeking his first Champions League success. Last season, the German took Paris St-Germain to the final, losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich. (BBC)
