Where is the 2019 Champions League final being played?

The ground is the home of La Liga side Atletico Madrid. It opened in 2017 to replace Atleti's former home, the Vicente Calderon. 

It was originally built and opened in 1994 as part of Madrid's unsuccessful attempt to host the 1997 World Athletics Championships. It closed in 2004 after Madrid failed in its bid to win the hosting rights for the 2016 Olympics. Atleti bought the site in 2013 and completely renovated it.

It will be played between the winners of the two semifinals. Liverpool booked their place after completing a historic second-leg comeback against Barcelona. They will face Tottenham Hotspur, who completed their own incredible last minute comeback against Ajax to win 3-2 and knock out the Dutch side on away goals.

When does the match kick off?

The match kicks off on Saturday, June 1 at 21:00 local time (20:00 BST/15:00 EDT/12:00 PDT).
