I don't get why both semi's would be in London as well. Sounds a bit unfair to do that as one "package". The stadium is great but a semi final in Munchen and one in Madrid and then the final in London for instance would also be great and a bit more diverse.

At least it prevents any of the semi-finalists having a home advantage. Perhaps they wanted to base all four teams in one city with access to local training facilities to avoid any travel for them ahead of the final.

Originally posted by AMLBONO:Season definitely started in Sunday for Manchester United fans. Was a rocky start. Happy to see for now that Van Gall has ditched the 3-5-1 formation. Not enough quality in the squad to play with only 3 defenders in the back. They are going to score a fair amount of goals with the fire power up front but are they going to concede too many?
