Champions League

Real Madrid defender David Alaba was given an emotional send-off by fans at the Santiago Bernabéu during his final home match for the club. Supporters held up plastic chairs as he was substituted, recreating the Austrian's signature celebration that first went viral in 2022 during Real Madrid's Champions League comeback victory against Paris Saint-Germain.

Alaba, aged 33, will leave the club at the end of the 2025-26 season when his contract expires. He has made more than 130 appearances for Real Madrid across five years and collected 11 major trophies, including two La Liga titles and two Champions Leagues.

The chair tribute stems from Alaba spontaneously grabbing and waving a stadium seat in wild celebration during that memorable 2022 night at the Bernabéu, turning the gesture into one of his most recognizable moments with the club.

Achraf Hakimi has been seen wearing a new colorway of the Under Armour Shadow 4 Mach Elite ahead of the Champions League final. The boots feature a split design with a bright orange exterior and neon yellow interior.

This version of the Shadow 4 Mach Elite was released by Under Armour a few weeks ago. Hakimi is using a customized model that matches the retail design closely, bringing attention to the color scheme.

Paris Saint-Germain included a small French flag detail near the collar on the back of their kit for the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League final. The subtle patriotic element was highlighted by fans and observers in the aftermath of the club's European success, appearing on the match-worn shirts as PSG competed as the designated home side.

Footy Headlines can leak a new picture of the Milan 26-27 away kit. It features a phoenix wing pattern, symbolizing rebirth and rising from the ashes.

This detail pays tribute to AC Milan’s resurgence in the Champions League during the mid-2000s. After suffering a dramatic comeback defeat to Liverpool on a rainy night in Istanbul in 2005 and losing the Champions League title, Milan rose stronger than ever. They went on to defeat the same opponent in the 2007 final in Athens, reclaiming the Champions League crown.
