Weekend Fun: UEFA Champions League Final

The final of the Champions League between Chelsea and Bayern Munich takes place on Saturday and a lot of adlanders will be tuning in.  

The Champions League Final will be the last European match for this season. Chelsea, despite their disappointing domestic season, managed to beat the current champions FC Barcelona in the semi finals, to set up a clash in the final with Bayern Munich. The match will take place at Munich’s Allianz Arena in the early hours of Sunday at 12:15 am (late Saturday night) and can be watched on Ten Sports and Ten Action in India.

We spoke to some of the adlanders to find out their plans for the event.
