KIEV, Ukraine — Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos criticized UEFA’s decision to hold the Champions League final in Kyiv, as fans continue to struggle with travel problems. I’m sure many fans would have preferred to have the game closer to home to facilitate them,” Ramos said Friday. “It’s disappointing and it’s difficult for them to now get over,” Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson said of the fans left stranded by cancelled flights. And two people were left injured Thursday in an apparent hooligan attack by Ukrainian fans against Liverpool supporters. Next year’s final will be played in Madrid, which beat the Azerbaijani capital Baku in UEFA’s first formal bidding process.
