Pic: This has to be the worst seat possible at the Champions League final

You'd be sick

Robert Redmond

Imagine the scene.

It’s the biggest game in club football, you manage to get a ticket and make your way to Berlin. Even if you’re not a fan of either side, this is a special occasion, the best players in the world are featuring and you’ve a ticket.

You make your way to the ground, getting there early to take in the occasion, and find out you’re sitting behind a pillar.

That’s exactly what’s happened to one unfortunate fan this evening. German journalist Philipp Köster tweeted this picture of possibly the worst view on offer at tonight’s final in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium.

The ticket warned of ‘restricted view’, but there’s restricted, and there’s stuck behind a pillar while Lionel Messi’s playing in a Champions League final.

Hopefully the wi-fi signal in the Olympicstadion remains strong and the fan can keep up to date with the action.
