With all four semifinal berths already claimed, 2021-22 UEFA Champions League final is drawing nearer. Originally expected to be held in Saint Petersburg, UEFA has decided to change the tournament decider's venue to Saint-Denis, in the north of Paris, France, following the Ukraine invasion.
One of the most notable changes in this current edition has been the elimination of the away goal rule, which has produced a significant reduction to the influence that scoring far from home used to have. Even with important absences in the final stages of the knockout phase as Lionel Messi's PSG and Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United were eliminated in the round of 16, the path towards the grand final is extremely exciting.
Villarreal, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City have made it to the last four to set up an exciting bracket in the continental tournament. Check out here the dates for the semifinal clashes.
