Meanwhile, there are numerous reports that indicate fans have struggled to navigate traffic around the stadium, which has forced some ticket holders to sprint long distances to reach the venue in time for kick-off.

The smoke has drifted over to the ground before warm-ups, however, the air pollution does not yet appear to pose a threat to proceedings. There is no indication yet that the smoke is set to disrupt the game of impact kick-off time.

UEFA has not commented on the situation. There was also chaos at last year’s final in Paris, with the treatment of Liverpool and Real Madrid fans the subject of independent investigation.
