We have enough people breaking quarantine regulations without that lot invading our shores.
Re: Porto
How to create a logistical nightmare for the fans but in saying that it will mainly be the sponsors and corporates that get the tickets anyway. Maybe they were worried about fans piling down to London? or Brexit? Strange

Re: Porto
Yes, but isn’t somewhat worrying that Portugal, being one of the few countries on the government’s’Green’ list, is seemingly open to accepting UEFA’s demands/requirements, which you’d assume are the same as they were to stage the game at Wembley.

Re: Porto
To be fair, Portgual did a good job last year during the pandemic. The last eight of the Champions League was played out in a mini-tournament held in Lisbon.
Re: Porto
BBC news now reporting that Portugal have tightened restrictions for travellers until the 30 May. Speaking about the Champions League Final supporters will have to travel on chartered flights, stay in a bubble and be out of the country within 48 hours

Re: Porto
