No sightseeing allowed! Chelsea and Manchester City fans attending Champions League final in Porto 'must travel in a club bubble and will be in Portugal for less than 24 hours'... as Government minister reveals plan to tightly manage English supporters

Any Manchester City or Chelsea fans hoping to make the most of their trip to Porto for the Champions League will have to forget those plans after a Portuguese politician outlined they will be in a bubble and only in the country for 24 hours.

Manchester City and Chelsea fans will be descending on Porto on May 29 after UEFA confirmed on Thursday that the Estadio do Dragao will be new venue for this year's showpiece, instead of Covid-stricken Istanbul.

The sunny climes of Portugal may be enticing to fans from England but anybody travelling for the game will come and return on the same day, says Minister of State Mariana Vieira da Silva.
