Thus, Chelsea won the Champions League for the first time in their history.
Millennium (Cardiff, Wales). Opened in 1999. Accommodates 73 930 spectators.
The home arena of the Wales national team was opened at the turn of the millennium, having received the corresponding name, but in 2016 the stadium received a new name - Principality Stadium, which, with a certain amount of imagination, can simply be translated as "Princely Stadium", since Wales is part of the United Kingdom, and the Queen's son Elizabeth II Charles bears the title of Prince of Wales.
But back to the Champions League. The final of the main club tournament in Europe took place here in 2017, with Real Madrid and Juventus participating in that match.

Government reshuffle may come as a surprise
Almost immediately after it became clear that Vladimir Putin had won the presidential election, they again started talking about changing the prime minister. We have collected the assumptions of experts about who can take the post of Prime Minister and in the next six years will manage the economy, education, health care, in general, the level of the country's well-being.
Two days before the elections, Putin ordered by April 15 to develop a draft decree on "national goals" for the next six years. The demands voiced by the president based on his recent address to the Federal Assembly concern the economy and the social sphere, and they look more than ambitious. Among them - joining the five largest economies in the world, increasing incomes of the population and pensions, reducing poverty, increasing life expectancy to 78 years, increasing the "population" of the country, improving the living conditions of families. The results of completing this "homework" for the government may become decisive when choosing a new prime minister, since they will determine the agenda for the next six-year period, which the head of the cabinet will have to implement.
“The main decisions will be made after the instructions on the“ national goals ”are fulfilled: then it will become clear how the goals will be ranked, what priorities will be set,” says Nikita Maslennikov, head of the finance and economics department at the Institute of Contemporary Development. In his opinion, the Prime Minister 2018-2024 should understand the structural agenda, be able to work in the designated areas, have serious knowledge in the field of finance and monetary policy, be respected in the expert community and business circles, be able to discuss, argue his point of view and conduct a dialogue, because possible structural reforms in the future will require a constant search for compromises, the ability to sail "under sails against the wind, and sometimes without sails."
“The short list of candidates for this position includes people who, to one degree or another, possess all these qualities. Dmitry Medvedev may well remain in the chair. The current First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, who actively manifests himself in Lately... The Chairman of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina is quite worthy of the post: the actions of the Central Bank set the logic of the government's work in the near future, and the creation of a low inflationary environment determines the possibility and necessity of structural reforms. Another person involved in the “waiting list” is the head of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, Tatyana Golikova, as a very experienced person from the point of view of financial discipline: she will be able to effectively and efficiently spend the country's funds, which is extremely important now. Aleksey Kudrin looks quite logical in this list, since he knows how to act in the direction of overcoming restrictions on economic growth. The last to this list, I would add the presidential aide Andrei Belousov, who also developed as an experienced manager with strategic thinking ”- such assumptions were voiced by the expert.
“In the current system of coordinates, the political will of the president is much more important, and the leaders of the second or third level are not of fundamental importance and perform a nominal function, even the chairman of the government,” Nikita Isaev, director of the Institute of Contemporary Economics, expressed an alternative point of view. - The government in the period 2012-2018 was just a kind of lightning rod to maintain a positive image of the head of state. In this regard, Dmitry Medvedev has the highest prospects for becoming prime minister. However, any surprises can be expected from Vladimir Putin - this is the president's calling card. Mikhail Fradkov was a surprise in 2004, and Viktor Zubkov in 2007. Such people can be included in the alignment in order to find themselves above the clash of various groups of influence, which will no longer fight for the status of prime minister, but for the status of a successor, ”the economist is convinced.
Nikita Maslennikov disagrees with him. “Now surprises are inappropriate, and the time for technical prime ministers is over: the functions of the government are changing and demanding political weight from the head of government. I think we will see a lot of new things in the quality of management, but not in its structure: it is unlikely that new people will come to the government, more likely there will be only castlings, ”the expert noted. Other officials are also tipped for the post of Prime Minister - Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Economic Development Minister Maxim Oreshkin, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. In any case, the President has taken a pause for reflection and will give the candidates an opportunity to prove themselves until May.
