UEFA has announced its is moving May's Champions League final to Paris from St. Petersburg, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.


Officials say the football match will be held at the Stade de France, where it was previously played in 2006.


UEFA said just days ago that St Petersburg was no longer tenable to host the game …


And reports suggest that French President Macron was keen to bring the match TO France after the Russian President largely ignored his diplomatic efforts.
