viagogo reveals second highest demand from Poland as Lewandowski draws support from native Warsaw

With only five days to go before the Champions League Final, viagogo, the world's largest ticket marketplace, reveals that fans from all over the world are searching for last minute tickets to watch Dortmund play Bayern Munich at Wembley on 25th May.

Although no Polish teams made it to the Champions League, the highest demand outside of Germany is coming from Poland. Robert Lewandowski, the Warsaw-born striker who made history when he became the first player to score four goals in a Champions League semi-final, is ensuring Borussia Dortmund will have plenty of support from Poland when the team plays in London.

viagogo spokesman Steve Roest said: "The vast majority of our Champions League Final customers are German, but the second highest demand is coming from Poland. Lewandowski has shown he could win this match for Dortmund, and that makes it very special for his fans back home.

"We're also seeing demand from some more surprising places, such as Singapore, which is known to have a multi-national population of committed football fans."

Top 5 countries for Champions League Final demand:

  1. Germany
  2. Poland
  3. The Netherlands
  4. Singapore
  5. Switzerland
