Uefa has revealed that it is confident English supporters will be able to get hold of Russian visas in time for the Champions League final in Moscow.
Manchester United ensured that it will be an all-English final after beating Barcelona 1-0 at Old Trafford last night (April 29th).
It is expected that around 42,000 English fans will travel to the final as United will face either Chelsea or Liverpool.
Officials in Russia have suggested that visas will be processed more quickly than normal.
Uefa spokesman William Gaillard told the BBC that he is hopeful an arrangement will be reached.
"We are finalising an express way to get visas," he revealed.
"We've had extreme goodwill from the Russian government to make it easy for fans. It will be a major breakthrough," added Mr Gaillard.
Tickets for the final are now extremely limited.
