Real and Atletico Madrid receive 20,000 tickets each for Milan final
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will each receive 20,000 tickets for the 2016 Champions League final in Milan.
San Siro, which will host the showpiece event on May 28, has a capacity of more than 80,000, but that has been reduced to 72,000 for security reasons ahead of the clash between the two Spanish giants.
According to AS, almost 26,000 tickets for the final will be issued to the local organising committee, UEFA, national associations, the media and the tournament’s eight sponsors.
The clash later this month will be a repeat of the 2014 Champions League final in Lisbon, when Real Madrid prevailed in extra time to lift a record 10th European Cup.
