You do not need a visa to visit Ukraine as long as you stay under 90 days.

Flight time UK to Kiev for the final 3hrs 15 mins.

Don't like the look of the Olympic Stadium in Kiev as a venue for the final. Has a running track which is always a buzzkill and then a path outside that about half the width of the track again. The seating is very gradually inclined and those in the upper deck, especially behind the goals will need binoculars as they'll be a couple of hundred metres away.

It'll do very nicely.

Four of Liverpool's five European Cup victories have come in stadiums with tracks around the pitch.

Even the sole exception, the Parc Des Princes in 1981, has a much extended area behind the goal compared to most stadiums.

The 2 finals they lost were in stadiums that had running tracks too Sid. It's the same for both teams but Liverpool would be well used to and comfortable with a more claustrophobic, noisier setting.

Running tracks sterilise the atmosphere. We won't see anything like say, the first leg against Man City at Anfield. Tracks are a large part of the decline of the Serie A League. People won't pay to be looking at one and it looks unappealing on tv compared to tight, packed Premier League grounds with the crowd on top of the players.

So the final is on tonight, hard to separate these two, both to score possibly a score draw!

Navas was poor on that Bayern Munich goal. Two key and experience players lost to injury in Robben and Boateng.

1-1 fine strike by Marcelo. Goal against the run of play.

Not as frenetic as last nights game, be hard to work out who'd Liverpool would prefer after the first 45

If its Real Madrid and they defend like they have done tonight in the final Liverpools forward line will make hay.

Lord help Lovren and Van Dijk if they're trying to stop Ronaldo at the other end.

Bayern have done some fairly suspect things for such a top team.
