Arsenal have condemned Europe's football governing body, UEFA, over its decision to host the forthcoming Europa League final in Baku.

The Emirate dwellers issued a strongly worded statement ahead of the cracker against London rivals Chelsea in the Azerbaijani capital on Wednesday, May 29, with both teams sharing 12,000 tickets.

"However, we are bitterly disappointed by the fact that due to transport limitations UEFA can only make a maximum of 6,000 tickets available to Arsenal for a stadium with a capacity of well over 60,000. Time will tell if it is even possible for 6,000 Arsenal fans to attend the match, given how extreme the travel challenges are.

"We have 45,000 season ticket holders and for so many fans to miss out due to UEFA selecting a final venue with such limited transport provision is quite simply not right. The reality is that whoever reached the final would not be able to meet demand from their supporters."
