Legenda Inggris Wayne Rooney menganggap “aneh” bahwa Harry Kane belum pernah mendapatkan pengakuan yang lebih besar dalam ajang Ballon d’Or. Penyerang produktif Bayern Munich ini, yang merupakan pencetak gol terbanyak sepanjang masa untuk Tottenham dan Timnas Inggris, belum pernah finis di peringkat lebih tinggi dari posisi ke-10 dalam pemungutan suara Ballon d’Or mana pun. Situasi tersebut bisa berubah pada tahun 2026, karena Kane dianggap sebagai salah satu kandidat terkuat untuk meraih penghargaan paling bergengsi tersebut.
Javier Saviola telah menyebut nama “kapten yang luar biasa” yang seharusnya menggantikan Lionel Messi sebagai kapten timnas Argentina ketika pemenang Ballon d’Or delapan kali itu pensiun dari sepak bola internasional. Hal itu bisa terjadi setelah Piala Dunia musim panas ini di Amerika Utara, dengan Messi yang belum memastikan apakah ia akan mengejar gelar juara dunia keduanya bersama Albiceleste.
Endrick, pemain pinjaman dari Real Madrid, mengungkapkan keinginannya untuk membela Brasil di Piala Dunia 2026 setelah mencatatkan awal yang gemilang bersama Lyon. Bintang muda ini kembali dipanggil ke skuad tim nasional asuhan Carlo Ancelotti setelah kembali menemukan performa terbaiknya di lingkungan baru di level klub.
Apart from the UEFA Champions League final, you cannot buy tickets for Champions League directly through UEFA themselves. Instead, they are sold club-by-club among the teams competing in this year's edition. You must visit the individual club’s website for the fixture you want to attend and buy your seat from there. Capacity is always limited for these Champions League knockout matches and demand often exceeds available allocation.
Will I be able to buy Champions League tickets through secondary sites?
In addition, fans can purchase seats on the secondary market. StubHub is one of the leading retailers for those seeking to buy tickets through alternative channels. StubHub is a legitimate merchant in the ticket resale marketplace and a safe place for fans to buy tickets. StubHub's website guarantees that you will get tickets in time for the event you are attending and a valid ticket for entry.
Where is the 2025 Champions League Final being played?
The Allianz Arena in Munich (known as the Munich Football Arena for UEFA competition purposes) is staging this year’s Champions League Final on Saturday, May 31 at 8 pm (GMT). It was opened in 2005 and has a 70,000 seating capacity for international matches and 75,000 for domestic matches. It is the second-largest stadium in Germany behind the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund.
As well as being the home of Germany’s Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, the Munich venue hosted a number of games during the 2006 FIFA World Cup and last year’s Euro 2024 Finals. The one and only previous UEFA Champions League Final to be played at the Allianz Arena was the 2012 Final between Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Despite having a strong home backing, Bayern failed to land the prize as Chelsea led by Roberto Di Matteo would come out on top after a nailbiting penalty shootout.
