Almost 50,000 fans cheering for either Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen or Italy’s Atalanta will cram in for the 8pm kick-off. Unknown thousands of pints will be sold as they descend on the Aviva, amid closed roads and restricted Dart services. On Thursday, Dublin Airport management said it was gearing up for the arrival of 20,000 club fans to arrive over the 48-hour period, plus another 10,000 attendees from more than 20 countries around the world. Free transport into the city centre is being provided to supporters.
