    UEFA had contemplated changing the venue if it ended up with 2 English teams, seems mental dragging everyone over there. But they have been doing up the stadium in Moscow for a year now preparing for it so that wasnt an option.

    If Liverpool win tonight, I'll be there, flights booked, tickets sorted.....just need Liverpool to win now!! :D

    I think holding the CL final in Paris every year would actually make very good sense, any likely winner is going to come from 2 of 6/7 nations all of which are in WESTERN europe.

    England/Italy/Spain/Germany/Portugal/Netherlands/France

    Shuffling it around badly run eastern hell-holes which cost a fortune and take 3 days to get to and from makes no sense to anyone except UEFA.

    Moscow have to say appears to be a poor choice. But the policy appears to be to share it around.
    Paris in 2006 overall was organised well,however even there around the stadium was a total joke,lack of turnstiles, fans appeared allowed in without tickets as quite a few people just standing. Authorities could learn lots from how football is organised in England.
