The match ended with the 1-0 victory of the Spanish team. Vinicius scored the only goal.
Formerly Alexei Sorokin, St. Director General of the Organizing Committee for the preparation of the Champions League final of the 2021/22 season in St. Petersburg reported about receiving compensation from the Association of European Football Associations (UEFA) for the transfer of the match to France.
