Budapest has transformed into a high-security zone ahead of the Champions League final.
Arsenal and PSG fans have flooded the Hungarian capital as excitement continues to build ahead of Saturday evening’s kickoff.
Both teams arrive as domestic champions this season. They now seek to crown their campaigns with European glory.
PSG remain defending champions after their dominant win last year. Their 5-0 victory over Inter Milan still resonates strongly.
Security agencies are leaving nothing to chance, as heavy police presence is visible across key areas of the city.
Officials expect at least 10,000 ticketless supporters. Also, airport traffic has nearly doubled due to the influx of visitors.
Massive security deployment as thousands gather without tickets
Puskas Arena will host just over 61,000 fans inside. However, demand has far exceeded available capacity.
Both clubs received equal ticket allocations. Still, many supporters will rely on public viewing zones.
