Manchester City plan to host 4,000 fans at their academy campus for Saturday's Champions League final against Chelsea.

The Daily Mail says City will erect a number of super-sized screens at the club's academy stadium – next to the Etihad – to allow supporters who could not get a ticket for the final to watch the action.

Pep Guardiola's side will be backed by close to 6,000 fans in Portugal after selling out their tickets.

Opponents Chelsea sent back 800 of their allocation amidst complaints from fans over UEFA's pricing structure. Tickets were priced in four categories at £60, £154.50, £386.50 and £515.

City's owner Sheikh Mansour paid for flights for supporters on club day trips, while Chelsea supremo Roman Abramovich subsidised plane tickets, knocking the cost down to £200.
