UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL 2019 29/05/2019 Olympic Stadium Baku, AZ 20:00BST
Lmao not a chance am I putting any thought or effort into this one. Who actually cares? I don’t even think the finalists do. A route into the Champions League where you’ll quickly realise ah fuck this is so much harder. Ask Sevilla.
Its in Baku as well. That’s Asia. MKHITARYAN CAN’T EVEN GO. I thought Kyiv was bad, this is taking the piss. Nice ground though. Where did Baku even come from? I’d never heard of it until Atlético had it as a shirt sponsor. Is the lure of Diego Godin’s defensive prowess really enough to justify giving them an F1 Grand Prix and a major European Final? For me, yes. For you, perhaps not.
Anyway, it fills time before the actual important football three days later. Imagine Arsenal won it and then had their summers ruined by Spurs winning the real European silverware on the Saturday. Ah, fuck. I’d almost enjoy it. That’s masochism.
Up the coefficient I guess.

Unbelievable that it's only an allocation of 6k for both teams, in a ground just shy of 70,000.

Ridiculous, ain't it? Why the fuck is it even in Baku.
There's either the 1 direct flight a week or you can traipse over literally the entirety of the old iron curtain via train for 16 hours (6 changes after a flight to Kyiv) to get there.
A joke

This is shaping up to be the most Uefa thing ever.

UEFA using the excuse that the allocation is so low based on how many fans they expect to bother traveling lmao.
I know they didn’t anticipate two English teams, but the likelihood was always find to be a couple of Western European teams in the final. Maybe, don’t completely cave into money, have a bit of consideration for the fans and don’t hold a major European final in a country further east than Baghdad.
Pipe dream.

Chelsea played a post season friendly and decided to play Loftus-Cheek and he left on crutches.
Final in two weeks.

Lots being made over police checking arsenal shirts for Mkhitarian's name on the back but why would Arsenal fans try and goad locals by getting his name printed on the back of their shirt in the first place? Seems a bit short sighted especially in that part of the world

Okay there's no tangible evidence that they're goading anyone, that was silly. But the city is hosting the game now and the travel board have said "eh, maybe don't wear a mkhi shirt because we can't promise some nutter won't come and thump you".. why bother risking it?
By all means chant his name for 90/120 minutes however long you want. But you're five days from home in some cases and you've just paid to have a massive target on your back.
