Atletico Madrid's new stadium could host the 2019 Champions League Final.

The stadium will debut for the 17-18 season with Atleti leaving the Vicente Calderon for Wanda Petropolitano. 

Madrid faces competition from Baku's Olympic Stadium to welcome the Champions League decider, and the venue in Azerbaijan's capital is also in the running for the Europa League final.

The UEFA Executive Committee will select the successful host associations in September 2017.
