Why on earth are Fiorentina wearing white?🤷🏻♂️ I know mate has done my head in a bit. Bloody love that purple home kit of theirs and doesn't seem right them not wearing it. Never mind colour blind, you’d have to be completely blind not to tell the difference between purple and red n white stripes. Some daft UEFA “rule” no doubt

Look the more dangerous of the two teams so far.

Same here, and I thought it was just the WiFi in the hotel bar that was a bit weird.

Great bunch of lads what did you think of Athens btw Absolutely loved it, a fantastic, vibrant city with an edgy undercurrent. Would like to holiday there actually, the beaches look lovely. Alas it’s a tad pricey for me at the mo. The people as well are proper salt of the earth types I found

Olympiakos fans haven't had far to travel, across town to local rivals AEK Athens stadium, shame its only a 32000 capacity stadium for a final. Nice stadium but as you say for a final it's not ideal size wise. Much bigger than that one West Ham won it in last year in Prague mind. That only holds 20,000.

Aruba won 3-2 away at Curacao, I wonder if Bonaire felt left out.

Yeh, we felt that, a tomato salad was basically tomatoes and oil, nowt else, and about 15 euros, and that was 10 years ago.

I went to the old AEK stadium in the 80s, open terrace and a bit mental. They could have had 1 full stand for a home end in this new one though.

I know a PAOK fan through work and the stories he's told me makes me think football wise they are all a bit mental. Brilliant atmospheres though.

Tbf I wasn’t really in central Athens to much, like you say though on the only night I did the prices escalated greatly so stayed away for the rest of the trip.

I did attempt to see the Acropolis but it was covered in scaffolding, dunno if it’s always like that. Wasn't when we went. First time I went I nearly made it, then saw the Robin Hood pub, which had a few English girls in who were teaching English in Athens, history could wait a bit longer

Been a shite game really. Hopefully extra time is better but I reckon it could well go to pens.
