We provide you with everything you need to know for the Champions League final between Tottenham vs Liverpool including time, date, location.

How many fans will be there?
The Wanda Metropolitano's 67,000-seat capacity will be reduced to 63,500 for the Champions League final.
What's the deal with tickets?
Supporters of the two Champions League finalists will receive 16,613 tickets each, just over half of the reduced 63,500 capacity at the Wanda Metropolitano.
UEFA have confirmed another 4,000 tickets will be made available to the general public, while the remaining 25,500 tickets “are allocated to the local organising committee, UEFA and national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters”.
Who's the final referee?
The final referee will be announced in the weeks leading up to the game.
Will VAR be in use?
The 2019 Champions League final will go down in history as the first to feature the use of Video Assistant Referee.
The technology, introduced in the knockout stages of this season's competition, has been at the heart of a number of high-profile incidents.
UEFA will no doubt strive for its seamless use in the flagship game of their season.

Funny enough both teams/managers know how to lose at the final stages of a competition or tournament I'm beginning to have this strange feeling that there would be no winner on that day LMAO
