The second half of the return legs (as well as the final games of the Champions League and Europa League on March 23 ) were postponed indefinitely. In August 2020, a final tournament with only one knockout game (similar to a World Cup ) took place in the Portuguese capital Lisbon from the quarter-finals .
• As the tournament was reduced to knockout games from the quarterfinals onwards, the finalists played eleven games instead of the usual 13 games.

• PSG was in the final of the Champions League for the first time in club history, with a Ligue 1 team reaching the final for the first time since 2004 .
• Kingsley Coman became the first player in the history of the competition to score against a former club in the final. The goal was also the 500th goal of Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.
