Russian minister calls for respect

The Russian government has demanded the English travelling supporters of Man Utd and Chelsea 'show some respect' whilst they are visiting Moscow for the Champions League final on the 21st of May.

Vitaly Mutko, the Russian sports minister said: "I urge you to respect our customs and the people who live in the city. In football there is always a winner and a loser and I ask the losing fans, who will obviously be disappointed, to behave.

"You cannot predict what can happen in football but we will make sure that our guests will be taken care of, that they feel safe and feel our hospitality and have a great time.

"We will do everything we can to ensure the police and military will act in a proper and calm way. We will also make sure there will be no revenge attacks from hooligans."
