The Champions League final is the biggest fixture in European football's club calendar.
Ahead of each edition of the continental competition, a venue is selected for the match and the road to that city begins.
To be eligible to host a Champions League final, a ground has to be considered a Category 4 stadium under UEFA's Stadium Infrastructure Regulations. In the past, however, there were no such strict rules.
