Champions League build-up

If you had any doubts about how excited Greece is to be hosting tonight's Champions League final in Athens, you only have to look at today's TV listing to have them dispelled.

In a flashback to the days when both the BBC and ITV would show the F.A. Cup Final live, and cup final themed programming would start in the wee hours of Saturday morning to get you in the mood, NET's coverage of tonight's game starts at 16:00.

That's a mere five-and-three-quarter hours before kick off.
