Portugal and more specifically Lisbon has been chosen as the venue for the Champions League Final Eight tournament, claims German newspaper Bild.
It had been one of the main candidates for the role, along with Frankfurt, Moscow and Istanbul.
Portugal has been among the European nations least affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, so could even allow fans into the stadium by August.
Lisbon was chosen because it has several modern stadiums that are suitable to host a tournament, having staged Euro 2004.

The city has both the Estadio Da Luz and the Jose Alvalade, while all the Portuguese clubs have already been eliminated from the Champions League, so there can be no home advantage.
The format for the Champions League is likely to have the remaining second leg ties for the Round of 16 – including Barcelona-Napoli and Juventus-Lyon – then a series of one-off matches for the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
