uefa.com: The Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica in Lisbon, Portugal, will stage the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League final at 21:00 CET on Sunday 23 August 2020.
Also known as the Estádio da Luz (Stadium of Light), the home of 37-time Portuguese champions Benfica was rebuilt to host games (including the final) of UEFA EURO 2004, and more recently staged the 2014 UEFA Champions League final, in which Real Madrid beat city rivals Atlético 4-1 after extra time to become European champions for a tenth time.
Who is playing in the final?
Paris became the first team to book their place in the final when they beat Leipzig 3-0 in their semi-final. They will come up against five-time winners Bayern, who overcame Lyon by the same scoreline in their last-four encounter.
What if the final is level after 90 minutes?
Then the match will go to extra time: two periods of 15 minutes. If it is still level after 120 minutes, the final will be decided on penalties, with teams taking five alternately before sudden death.
Will there be supporters at the stadium?
All UEFA matches will take place behind closed doors until further notice.
Do the UEFA Champions League winners qualify for the UEFA Super Cup?
Yes. The UEFA Super Cup is a one-off fixture between the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. The Puskás Aréna in Budapest will hold the 2020 UEFA Super Cup on 24 September, and Windsor Park in Belfast, Northern Ireland, will welcome the 2021 edition.

Which final has had the most goals?
Milan 3-3 Liverpool (aet, Liverpool win 3-2 on pens – Istanbul, 2004/05)
An incredible second-half comeback saw Liverpool erase a three-goal half-time deficit to force extra time before beating Milan on penalties in an extraordinary decider. Paolo Maldini scored for Milan before Hernán Crespo struck twice to move the Rossoneri further ahead. However, three goals in seven minutes from Steven Gerrard, Vladimír Šmicer and Xabi Alonso took the game to a shoot-out. Andriy Shevchenko’s penalty was saved by Jerzy Dudek to give Liverpool victory.
