The fans' party in the pedestrian center of Istanbul and its surroundings turned into a nightmare for those who had to reach the stadium. Complicating matters was a bus carrying Manchester City fans that melted the engine when it was 3.5 kilometers from Ataturk.

The fans' party in the pedestrian center of Istanbul and its surroundings, waiting to attend the Manchester City-Inter Champions League final, turned into a nightmare for those who had to reach the stadium. The peripheral area of the Turkish capital where the Ataturk Olympic Stadium is located has turned into an almost inextricable tangle of metal sheets, with dozens of supporters and insiders 'prisoners' in taxis and other vehicles that we were transporting them to the plant. This is also because many people did not listen to the indication of UEFA that had recommended reaching the stadium with the yellow metro line. Complicating matters was a bus carrying Manchester City fans that melted the engine when it was 3.5 kilometers from Ataturk, leaving people on foot, with people (even teenagers) scattered on the side of the road and touched by cars. Other vehicles, always with fans of Guardiola's team, have made the rounds of the stadium several times without anyone giving explanations, despite the huge deployment of personnel, on where they should go. In short, at least for now, the Turkish organization, with problems also at the wifi of the stadium, is not performing as one would expect for such an event.

In Istanbul, music brings together Inter and City fans

The Nerazzurri Milan has begun to color the streets of the city waiting for tonight's Champions League final against Manchester City in Istanbul. Many fans poured into Piazza Duomo where the first chants have already started, with a lot of teasing towards the Milan cousins, eliminated in the semi-finals. Even the means of transport begin to fill with Nerazzurri jerseys. At San Siro, on the other hand, where a giant screen of over 400 square meters has been installed, more than 46 thousand Inter players are expected, two thousand more than initially planned after a last minute increase (the new coupons were put on sale yesterday and immediately evaporated) and a remodulation of the capacity allowed on the lawn. The gates will open at 19 pm with the pre-match that will be animated by entertainment and DJ sets. And waiting for the kick-off of the final there will be a direct line between Milan and Istanbul, with links and images from the Turkish capital. Given that the eventual official party with the players could be celebrated tomorrow afternoon, Inter has made it known that regardless of the result, the fans will have to flow from the stadium as usual. At San Siro there will not be the only giant screen where you can follow the game. In addition to the many pubs in the city, besieged by reservations, discos are also gearing up to broadcast the final. At the Magazzini Generali, for example, it will be possible to watch it from the internal and external giant screens with a garden set up. Maxi screen with buffet for 800 people also at Lime. It will be possible to watch the game, among others, also at the Ostello Bello, near the Central Station, and at the Urban Cultural Sea.
