adidas Champions League Final Matchball

With this week’s Champions League fixture list seeing key clashes between Europe’s elite clubs, adidas has revealed the match ball for the competition’s knockout phases and final, which takes place in Cardiff on June 3. Inspired by the Welsh national flag, the ball features a vivid dragon print – designed to represent “the ferocity with which the final stages are played” — which also appears on a limited-edition adidas Dragon Pack boot range.

Among this week’s most glamorous fixtures, Barcelona travel to Paris Saint-Germain in fine form having demolished Alavés 6-0 in La Liga over the weekend, while Arsenal face a daunting tie against German giants Bayern Munich, who have knocked the London club out of the Champions League twice in the past four seasons.
