UEFA has reported on the blind football exhibition game held in Milan last weekend in the run-up to the Champions League final, describing blind football as 'captivating'.

The match, held on Saturday afternoon, was held in the grounds of the Castello Sforza in the heart of Milan as part of the UEFA Champions Festival, and turned out to be one of the highlights of the event.

Girondins de Bordeaux proved too strong for ASD Liguria Calcio Non Vedenti and ran out winners by 2-0.
