While football can divide people, often it unites them as well. And it’s not just English fans of Chelsea and Manchester United who will be cheering on Wednesday night.

There are plenty of Russian-based fans of the two clubs. For years they have followed their beloved teams.

Now they are planning a warm welcome for their English friends and an extraordinary day out at the Champion's League Final.
