Russia is set to be stripped of hosting the Champions League final after President Vladimir Putin sent troops into eastern Ukraine, sparking a global crisis.
UEFA held emergency talks on Tuesday about moving the May 28 showpiece away from St Petersburg, with Tottenham and Wembley on standby.
Sources have disclosed that UEFA would prefer to wait until the semi-final line-up is confirmed before choosing a new venue. But with four English teams in the last 16, Wembley and Spurs are in the reckoning.
On a seismic day:
- Boris Johnson declared it ‘inconceivable’ Russia could host the final.
