Here we go! Enjoy The Champions League Final whether you’re in Moscow or Manchester…
If you’re lucky enough to have tickets for the Champions League Final at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium on Wednesday, you’re probably spending all your time stitching banners and thinking up witty and semi-abusive slogans to chant at those ‘manky’ Red Devils / ‘no-rhythm-and’ Blues (delete as required). If you’re not, you’re probably spending all your time polishing your HD TV and stocking up on supermarket vodka. Either way, the blogosphere can help you make the most of the European endgame…
Ryan’s article at Passport Diary has a great overview of everything fortunate footie fans with tickets need to consider before they go such as visas, flights and hotels, along with useful links to embassies and tourist offices. And if you have time before or after the game, read Stefan’s travel blog, for tips on navigating the city’s subway and prioritising the city’s cultural and nightlife hotspots.
But if, like most of us, you’re stuck at home (boooo), you can still get a first-person impression of proceedings at Journey to Moscow, a blog set up by 24 year old Chelsea fan Steve to record his tales of travelling to the game. He’s already posted his itinerary and budget and even has a forum for fellow fans so don a furry hat, shell out for some caviar, and follow his site over the next few days.
