Manchester United and Tottenham fans travel extraordinary lengths to attend the Europa League final in Bilbao, with over 80,000 supporters expected. Fans have utilized various creative travel itineraries due to expensive direct flights and limited accommodation. Manchester United fan Dave embarked on a 33-hour ferry journey from Portsmouth, while Tottenham fans Ben and Ryan shared the same ferry. Meanwhile, Sue McGranigan opted for a coach trip through France, and Ashley booked a campsite overlooking San Mames Stadium. With more than 3,000 police officers deployed, fans are encouraged to have a positive experience, and those without tickets are advised not to travel to Bilbao.
