By AFPMore by this AuthorLONDONArsenal have branded the decision for Azerbaijani capital Baku to host their Europa League final with Chelsea as "unacceptable" as fans struggle with the logistics and cost of attending the game on May 29. The London clubs were given 6,000 tickets each by European football's governing body for the match at the 68,700-capacity Olympic Stadium, more than 4,500 kilometres (2,800 miles) from the English capital. "Time will tell if it is even possible for 6,000 Arsenal fans to attend the match, given how extreme the travel challenges are." Liverpool and Tottenham supporters have also complained about the limited number of tickets given to both clubs for the Champions League final, in Madrid on June 1. And Arsenal called on Uefa to take fans' considerations more into account when choosing where showpiece European finals are held.
