Donald McRae and his 25-year-old son will attend the Champions League final in Budapest after starting their journey in South Africa in 1969. Ben Boxhall and two friends fly to Krakow, then plan a 5am Saturday bus to Budapest, without a booked hotel. They expect to join thousands at a UEFA meeting point for the game broadcast, then pull an all-nighter before returning to Krakow on the first bus. Adam Wares says flying would cost 500 to 600 on Wizz Air, but they paid 170 for return flights. Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka frames the match as a massive opportunity to win the Champions League for the first time and complete a double after the Premier League title. PSG ended a 20-year domestic league wait last year and are European champions after breaking their own European Cup duck. Luis Enrique’s PSG beat Inter 5-0 in Munich, the competition’s biggest victory margin, and PSG are bookmakers’ favorites to retain the crown. Kick-off in Budapest is 5pm BST, not 7.30pm, affecting viewing plans.
