Where to watch Champions League final in London: Best pubs to see Tottenham vs Liverpool
The biggest night in European club football is almost here, and London is gearing up for an all English affair.
Tottenham Hotspur have enjoyed an incredible Champions League campaign so far, including heart-stopping comebacks against Manchester City and Ajax. They will take on Liverpool, with Jurgen Klopp’s side bruised from their Premier League heartbreak, but emboldened by their superb 4-3 aggregate win against Barcelona in the semis.
With the big match set to kick off at 8pm on Saturday June 1, football fans all over the city will be looking for a place to catch the action.
If you’re a Spurs fan, there isn’t a better place than to watch it than inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which will be screening live coverage of the match. Tickets are priced at £10 for adults and £5 for under 18s. Initially, they will only be available to season ticket holders and members of One Hotspur+ and One Hotspur, but they will later go on general sale. For more information, click here.
