talkSPORT host Alan Brazil has slammed UEFA after Arsenal and Chelsea were given just 6,000 tickets each for the Europa League final in Baku.
The all-English showpiece will take place at Azerbaijan’s 68,700-seater Olympic Stadium, 2,850 miles from London, on May 29.

Fans have been outraged by the amount of tickets available for genuine supporters and Arsenal have already asked UEFA to increase their ‘disappointing’ allocation.
“We are in active discussions with UEFA for more tickets for our fans but this disappointing ticket allocation obviously presents us with extreme difficulties in how we allocate tickets to you, our loyal supporters,” a club statement read.
“It is inevitable that with an allocation of just 6,000 tickets for the final, there will be thousands of fans who have supported the club for years and been part of our Europa League journey this season, who will be unable to attend this match. This is a disappointing situation.”
