However, footage has also emerged of some fans climbing barricades and trying to enter the stadium without tickets.
In the process, fans were spotted getting pepper-sprayed in the faces by police.
The chaos ahead of such a big final doesn't help and one can only hope the game is able to start with fans' safety in mind.
