Wembley Stadium has significantly stepped up its security operation for Saturday’s Champions League final, aiming to prevent a repeat of the lawlessness that has blighted the Euro 2020 showpiece.

The past two Champions League finals also had problems. UEFA was primarily blamed for security failures in Paris 2022, when Liverpool and Madrid fans stood in tight queues. Last year, fans complained about transport problems accessing the Atatürk Olympic Stadium, where Manchester City defeated Inter Milan.
