One of the biggest sporting events - with a global audience of over 500 million (more than three times that of the Super Bowl) - the game will be seen in 200 countries.
Two English teams - but with few British players and organised by foreign managers. And one team is owned by a Russian multi-billionaire; the other by a country.
International football has become a huge business - in every country on earth. By far, the most lucrative league is our Premier League - which is under threat of hijacking.

This will be played in the Stadio do Drago in Porto tonight - with 16,500 fans in attendance.
Most of them will be from the UK - as the finalists are Manchester City and Chelsea.
Millions will watch on TV.
It's the first big game to have spectators, without a lot of the coranovirus restrictions.
A brave move though by the Portuguese city to take the game. With the large influx of people from all over the world - who may, or not, have been vaccinated.
