The match might not be played in Istanbul. Apparently UEFA are still to decide.

The thing is though, where do you move it that can satisfy demand and not impact COVID restrictions?

Iceland

China?

Play it at Anfield.

It's worth the risk.

Let's see the f***ers try and attack the coach with 10,000's of City there.

Cardiff?

Wouldn't satisfy the demand. There won't be a capacity in excess of 20,000. A lot of City fans will suddenly care about the CL (who didn't previously).

Portugal?

You can't fly there at the moment as a tourist and flights to Turkey are suspended. If that continues then it won't be a problem, people will be refunded their money. If the flight suspension is lifted then they'll be comfortable with people travelling.

Actually, flights between the UK and Turkey are NOT suspended. Manchester Airport is seeing upto three flights per day with two by THY Turkish Airlines to Istanbul's new airport and one per day by Pegasus to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen on the Asian side of the Bosphorus. Not sure who is flying on them though. Perhaps cargo is sustaining them, because they're certainly restricted for booking by regular UK passengers.

New York is an option UEFA are looking at, 3pm or 4pm local time kick off which would be 8pm or 9pm UK time

You're right, they resumed very recently:

Turkish Airlines to restart flights from UK, Denmark

Turkey’s flag carrier, Turkish Airlines, will restart flights from the United Kingdom and Denmark, the company’s CEO Bilal Ekşi said...

Apologies for the misinformation.

At the moment anyone who flies has to complete two private tests when they come back to the UK and isolate for ten days too. Not sure what that it'll be like in a month mind.
