Who leaves? Arteta plans Arsenal sales after £267m splurge

Mikel Arteta is preparing a major summer clear-out at Arsenal to balance the books after last year’s unprecedented spending.

Explained: Why PSG survived penalty shout against Bayern

Harry Kane and Bayern Munich were left fuming after a controversial handball shout was waved away during their Champions League semi-final against PSG. While the Bavarians felt aggrieved at the Allianz Arena, the decision to not award a penalty was rooted in a specific Law of the Game, as the referee’s call was backed by a technicality regarding team-mate deflections that ultimately saved the visitors.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy Champions League tickets?

Apart from the UEFA Champions League final, you cannot buy tickets for the Champions League directly through UEFA itself.

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.

Where is the 2026 Champions League Final being played?

The Puskás Aréna in Budapest is staging this year’s Champions League Final on Saturday, May 30 at 8 pm (GMT).

It was opened in 2019 and has a 67,215-seat capacity for international matches. It is the largest stadium in Hungary, built on the site of the former Ferenc Puskás Stadium.

As well as being the home of the Hungarian national team, the Budapest venue hosted a number of games during Euro 2020 and the 2023 UEFA Europa League Final.

This is the first time a UEFA Champions League Final will be played at the Puskás Aréna.
