Chelsea fans hoping to go to the Champions League final in Porto can expect to pay up to £515 for a ticket after the club announced details for the May 29 showpiece on Wednesday.

The Blues have received an allocation of 5,800 tickets for the final, which will go on sale first to members of the UEFA Away Scheme, and then to season ticket holders on a loyalty point basis.

Unlike Manchester City, who announced on Tuesday that they would pay travel costs for the 6,000 fans heading to Portugal as well as the Covid tests, Chelsea have not offered to pay for match-going fans’ Covid tests and will only be subsidising part of supporters’ travel to the final.
