Sixty-nine years after it was first held, the most prestigious match on the European club calendar returns when the 2025 Champions League final decides who will lift the trophy following Real Madrid’s record-extending 15th triumph in 2023/24.

Each of the last six finals have been tight encounters, with four settled by a goal and neither of the other two featuring more than one goal before the 83rd minute.

Madrid have won six of the last 11 finals, with Barcelona, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester City victorious once each to interrupt Los Blancos’ supremacy during that period.

Where is the Champions League final 2025?

Bayern’s Allianz Arena will be the spectacular setting for this season’s Champions League final. Chelsea beat the German side there on penalties to win the trophy in 2012.

Die Roten’s former home, the Olympiastadion, hosted three finals when the competition was known as the European Cup: Nottingham Forest beat Malmo in 1979, Marseille defeated Milan in the first edition after it was called the Champions League in 1993, and Borussia Dortmund saw off Juventus 3-1 in 1997.
