Olly, youve spent the day among the fans who are out there, whats it been like . Its been absolutely fantastic. It just feels normal. We know its not all of the town, there are covid pp� up all of the town, there are covid Pop Up Testing Stations because for those 6000 fans for each team that was the official allocation for them to get there. They had to take the Covid Test before they flew and then theyve had to take these Antigen Test to get on the fight to get back. Ill have to take another one when they get home. It really isnt normal but the city, our beautiful city of porto that stepped in very late in the day. Because istanbul had it taken away from them because obviously turkey is on the Travel Rubbers Portugal getting on the agreements. Theyve saved the day yet again. Its been fantastic. The place has beenjumping for the last 48 hours. There is been a few scuffles here and there. We heard of Manchester City fans fighting amongst themselves. But the police, they been downplaying it. So the met police been working in conjunction with the portuguese counterparts as well. They say nothing to say here, no arrests you just got a large group of Football Fans all enjoying some merriment. 0f Group of Football Fans all enjoying some merriment. Of course i get a city in the world really sometimes things get out of hand. We keep fingers crossed that it stays at that level. Here we are just an hour and a half or so before kickoff. We saw the Manchester CityTeam Bus just sweep into the tunnel on the side of things. The chelsea fans are going in on the side of the stadium. In the next ten minutes or so we are hoping to get some Team News was that we might be able to bring that to you. Itjust feels like a massive occasion. You know what after 12 months these fans, All Of Us have had itjust feels months these fans, All Of Us have had it just feels fantastic. Months these fans, All Of Us have had itjust feels fantastic. It had it just feels fantastic. It looks marvelous. The stage is set in as you just say the stage is set in as you were minutes away from the all important Team News, with Question Marks over players from both sides . Yes for Chelsea Football Health relay. The goal they have been given a pass for it was up to go should be quite apple. 0bviously A Pass for it was up to go should be quite apple. Obviously its got some big decisions to make how he feels is 11. He got it right last six weeks bidding Manchester City twice. Knock them out of the Fa Cup first and then delay the Title Party by beating them to one. I think city plated and understory team and wrapping up a title so early with three games to spare. That allowed Pep Guardiola to put his Champions League final side in his brain, whatever that is. We dont like to guess what Pep Guardiola is thinking about how he would field is 11. Keep them safe for their first them safe for Theirfirst Championship League final. The one doubt you mentioned for a City Going is their Top Scorer, he picked up what looked like a nasty knock in training last night. Clattered into captain fernandinho. He is 50 50 but we will find outjust how bad that injury is and must do that next ten minutes or so. Minutes or so. Hopefully will be able bring minutes or so. Hopefully will be able bring that minutes or so. Hopefully will be able bring that to minutes or so. Hopefully will be able bring that to you minutes or so. Hopefully will be able bring that to you shortly i minutes or so. Hopefully will be l able bring that to you shortly look back shortly. And from pundits and fans youve spoken to today, how do they think this Champions League final is going to pan out . Its so tight. 0bviously its so tight. Obviously is the third all english final and they know Each Other so well. I mention those two games they came up against Each Other. I dont think they are reading too much into those most recent chelsea wins. Theyre looking more at how Pep Guardiola when hes got his first 11 firing, how they should steam roll over every team that they come up against if they click. Itsjust that they come up against if they click. Its just that if because weve seen them had their occasional wobble. When you look across the board of where the girls come from, can you believe seven Manchester City players including good ddoonn have scored over ten goals . None of them are forwards. So when you think jesus and guerrero are likely to benefit but not be on the bench and you get a little bit technical and talk of this Force Line with mario it likes to play with all his Midland Field or so fluid. Very difficult to mark. There are goals everywhere in that Manchester City side. You look at Chess Tonight Chelsea working parent goals their Top Scorer seven was up your genial very important to the team, seven penalties, would you believe . They should out fire chelsea, Manchester City. But Thomas Tuchel is a very clever manager. For the first time in his career coming up against Pep Guardiola hes got the better of guardiola hes got the better of guardiola of head to heads in the season. �. ~ guardiola of head to heads in the season. , ~ ,. , guardiola of head to heads in the season. �. , ~ ,.
