Football fans returning from the Champions League final in Portugal have been told to self-isolate after multiple flights reported passengers testing positive for coronavirus.

Posting on one fan forum, passengers reported as many as five flights organised by Manchester City for the match against Chelsea have been affected.

It follows reports that Portugal will be removed from the green travel list on Thursday.

The summer hotspot is set to be placed on the amber list following a meeting between Westminster, the devolved governments and the Joint Biosecurity Centre, according to the BBC.

He said it was an unnecessary risk to hold the game in Portugal.

"It's absolutely ludicrous that it was held in Porto," he said.

"I live 35 minutes from Wembley, to make me get on the plane and fly over and expose me to those risks, which have clearly manifested themselves, is ridiculous."

However, he said he did not blame the clubs, adding: "It was purely a UK Government decision not to allow any kind of quarantine waiver for people coming in."

He also said he did not regret going and called it a "once in a lifetime opportunity".

"For a football fan, it's the absolute pinnacle," he said.

UEFA, Chelsea, Manchester City, Tui, Ryanair and Jet2 have all been contacted for comment.
