When is the Uefa Champions League Final 2019? Date, venue, start time, kick-off

The 2018-19 Champions League competition has reached its first knockout phase, with 16 teams left to battle it out on the road to next summer's final.

Holders Real Madrid, trailing Barcelona in La Liga, are aiming to seal a fourth successive title and a 14th overall and face Eredivisie giants Ajax for a place in the quarter-finals after topping Group G.

Last year's beaten finalists Liverpool face a tough test against Bayern Munich as they seek to banish memories of Loris Karius' Kiev nightmare, while both fellow Premier League contenders Tottenham and Manchester City meet German opposition in Borussia Dortmund and Schalke respectively.

Manchester United, a resurgent force under the guidance of caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, go head-to-head with a weakened Paris Saint-Germain outfit and Barcelona play another French side in Lyon.

Atletico Madrid take on Juventus in one of the round's most intriguing ties, while 2017-18 semi-finalists Roma are up against FC Porto.


When and where is the final?

The 2018-19 Champions League final will take place on Saturday 1 June, 2019.

The match will be played at the 68,000-capacity Estadio Metropolitano on the Avenida Luis Aragones in north-east Madrid, Spain.

Kick-off is scheduled for 8pm UK time.

The stadium replaced the Vicente Calderon as home for Atletico Madrid and, after delays, officially opened in September 2017 with a La Liga clash against Malaga, which Los Rojiblancos won 1-0 courtesy of a goal from Antoine Griezmann.

It is named after Atletico's ground until 1966 and features LED lighting and solar panels.
