Lisbon To Crack Down On Partying Amidst Champions League Mini-Tourney
LISBON — It is arguably the biggest sports event of this COVID-infected year — eight of Europe's top teams in a knockout tournament over 12 days in the Portuguese capital, with the Champions League winner to be crowned at the final on Aug. 23.
But while millions will tune in around the globe, if you walk the streets of Lisbon, you could be forgiven for being unaware that any of this is about to happen.
There are no event welcome signs at the airport and none of the usual associated marketing or football-related advertising.
