TL;DR

ISIS has called for attacks on major UEFA Champions League games ahead of the quarter-finals, listing London's Emirates Stadium, Paris's Parc de Prince, and the Santiago Bernabéu and Metropolitano arenas in Madrid as targets. The group's post, issued via its media outlet, included an image with the words "Kill Them All" and a black-clad man holding a firearm.
