A mi tambien me parece una 'esplendid' idea... Do people not think this will affect the players? Simon says they're used to it Spain, but in England?? The latest they kick off over here is 8pm. A final word to Jota...Vete a currar tio! Por qué no Kevin? A mi tambien me parece una ‘esplendid’ idea…

We know the Brazilian ace likes his nocturnal activities! And Ronaldo doesn't seem to be lacking either, so maybe he'll be the one to turn the game.

Bet both clubs spend more than a week in Moscow to acclimatise. After Chelsea secured their place, UEFA should have relocated the final to Wembley anyway.

Spanish players don't complain, but those from abroad do. This season Barça signing Eric Abidal said the late kickoffs were one of the reasons for his underpar performances. I remember covering one Barcelona v Sevilla game which kicked off after midnight because of a scheduling dispute. Ronaldinho loved the late night start and scored a cracking equaliser.

Obviously there would be outrage if the final wasn't screened at a friendly time, so there is little you can do... other than pick venues more carefully. Again, that is probably another issue altogether. To be PC means that everyone is entitled to applying to stage the final, regardless of the sily circumstances that may occur such as this.
