Champions League: adidas presents the "Final Cardiff 2017", the official ball of the knockout phase

The German sports equipment supplier adidas has presented the "Final Cardiff 2017", the official ball of the knockout phase of the 2016-17 Champions League, on 13/02/2017. This ball will be used from the knockout stages of the competition, which began on 14/02/2017 until the final at the Principality Stadium (74,500 capacity) in Cardiff (Wales), on Saturday 03/06/2017.
