With the champions league being heavily sponsored by Gazprom(not mine unfortunately) would there potentially be a boycott of any final ordered by our government?

It should be in Central Europe every year so it’s easy for any fans to get to. A rota of Madrid, Paris, Munich and Milan or similarSo ........... where will the CL final be played then?

Bullshit. The USSR never occupied Helsinki. They invaded Finland in 1939 but only had the objective of protecting Leningrad. The USSR advanced into Finland but once they occupied the Karelian Istmus, called off the offensive.
yeah I thought that was a weird thing to say, the Soviets invaded and occupied parts of Finland during the Winter War (and quietly kept them afterwards) but never reached or occupied Helsinki. The closest they got was actually the Finnish civil war twenty years earlier when they sponsored the “reds”.
Finland also leased land for a base at Porkkala near Kirkonummi to the west of Helsinki to the Soviets but that was all part of Kekkonen’s great game where he did his best to appease Moscow whilst also trying to stay part of the West for a few decades. There was certainly a degree of Russian influence in Finland during that time but not to any degree that meant Finland was controlled.
This is far more interesting than trying to decide where inevitably Chelsea will play Liverpool in a European final. I’m still not 100% we’ll get past Sporting in the home leg.
