I am just about to set off (8 in the morning) to join tens of thousands football fans gathering in the city for the UEFA cup final, which takes place in the Olympic Stadium tonight.
As well as a full house at the stadium - 30 Euro tickets have been selling for 750 Euros or more.... why have I still got mine??
- the authorities reckon that 30,000 or more Scottish followers of Glasgow Celtic will have travelled without tickets to savour the atmosphere of what they say will be Spain's biggest party this year!!
So today I'm an honorary haggis-eater and Celtic is my adopted team for the day.
Come on you Hoops!!
