Football lovers planning to watch the UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund live at Wembley Stadium in London on June 1 will have to pay through their noses.

This is because tickets could go for as high as £25,000, according to a Nigerian and Madrid fan, Olufunmilayo Ogunsanya, who is based in England.

Madrid reached the Champions final on Wednesday after defeating Bayern Munich 2-1 in the return leg of their semi-final tie at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Los Blancos went through 4-3 on aggregate after they had earlier played out a 2-2 draw with Bayern in the first leg at the Allianz Arena.
