<SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>The</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>A</SPAN> spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry has told the BBC <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>:</SPAN> <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>the</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>that</SPAN> British football fans with valid tickets for the <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>champion’s</SPAN> <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>lead</SPAN> <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>final</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>Champions</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>League</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>Final</SPAN> being held in Moscow in just over two weeks will not need visas if they only come for one day. The move aims to allay <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>fees</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>fears</SPAN> that Russian embassy <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>stuff</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>staff</SPAN> in London <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>will</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>won't</SPAN> be able to cope with tens of thousands <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>of</SPAN> visa applications expected <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>with</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>from</SPAN> fans of Chelsea and Manchester United<SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>for</SPAN> <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>2</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>,</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>the</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>two</SPAN> finalists. Our Moscow correspondent Richard Galpin reports. The Russian authorities <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>have</SPAN> finally <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>agree</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>agreed</SPAN> to set aside the normal visa requirements to enter the country<SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>,</SPAN> in what <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>official</SPAN> <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>is</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>officials</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>are</SPAN> calling "an unprecedented decision". Anyone with a valid ticket for the match between <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>the</SPAN> Chelsea and Manchester United and a valid passport will be <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>owed</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>ought</SPAN> to fly to <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>the</SPAN> Moscow for the game. The only other <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>requirement</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>requirements</SPAN> will be to fill in <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>an</SPAN> <SPAN style='text-decoration:line-through;color:red;'>immigration</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>a</SPAN> <SPAN style='background: SpringGreen;'>migration</SPAN> card at the airport. But there is one important condition, the visa-free travel will only apply to fans who arrive on the day of the final and who fly out immediately afterwards.
