Hundreds of Man City fans abandoning taxis and walking along motorway amid fears of getting into Champions League final
HUNDREDS of Manchester City fans have been forced to abandon their taxis while heading to the Champions League final.
Ataturk Stadium is located around an hour west of Istanbul city centre.
En route to the ground, plenty of supporters have found themselves stuck in awful traffic.
And such has been the congestion, that many have opted to get out of their taxis in order to walk the rest of the way.
Reporter Matt Pearson tweeted: “Hundreds of Manchester City fans are having to walk along the edge of the motorway with the road to the Ataturk Olympic stadium gridlocked.
“Shuttle buses from the fan park also barely moving.”
Pearson then added: “It’s a long walk uphill and still pretty warm. Locals selling water, beer and food at the roadside. It’s still 2 and a half hours until kick off.”
