The game itself will be played at NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium but for those unfortunate enough to miss out on a ticket, there are plenty of places to watch the action. 

A fan park is being constructed with huge screens put up as a prime spectator spot. 

With just five days remaining before European football’s showpiece event, the organisers are keen to ensure everything runs smoothly.  

The Champions League branding is emblazoned on a huge star with details of the game, though supporters will no doubt be familiar with the specifics, such is the magnitude of the clash. 

The fan park will be packed with supporters on Saturday and big screens are being installed
