Put several big stadia in several big cities on alert. Job done.
At that stage this year I’d have nominated Paris or Lisbon.
Ridiculous to host it in a city that doesn’t have the infrastructure to cope with the crowds.
They can't big national stadia do not sit empty waiting for UEFA .... far better to base the decision around travel, accommodation and facilities. There are probably a dozen cities in Europe who could cope with 100,000 extra tourists and not even feel he squeeze ... then off course you have to address the problem of 'gouging' ... Madrid can cope with 100,000 EPL fans, there is no need for 1000% price increases in hotels and flights it's just exploitation ... UEFA should ban Madrid from holding any further finals for twenty years.
When London, Paris, Moscow, Berlin hold events hotel prices go up 5-10% it's just rip-off Spain and Italy who always screw the fans ...
