The desperation in Madrid for Champions League final tickets is proving to be almost as palpable as the desire of Liverpool and Tottenham fans to see their team lift the trophy itself.
Entry to the first all-English final since 2008 is proving to be so elusive that one Tottenham fan is willing to part with £10,000 to watch the action unfold. It may be the sun and sangria talking, but he is not alone.
Both teams have only been given a combined allocation of 32,000 so it is no wonder Spanish authorities say the majority of fans are arriving ticketless.
