Fans fear Moscow nightmare
|
There are fears Moscow airport will not be able to cope with the number of fans for the Champions League final at the Luzhniki Stadium.
Manchester United and Chelsea have arrived ahead of European soccer's showpiece and more than 40,000 fans are expected to follow them, creating a logistical and policing headache for the Russian authorities.
The only previous European club final staged in Moscow was the Uefa Cup final between Parma of Italy and Olympique Marseille of France nine years ago.
Paul Gill, a representative with Manchester-based Champion Sports Tours said: 'We haven't had much in the way of problems but today there were only 100 of us and the line for passports was an hour.
'There's no way they're going to get everybody through there in time on Wednesday. That's going to be 10,000 people, and that's just one team.'
He said his company had organised trips to the match for more than 2,000 supporters.
