"What are you going to do when she's busy all day Friday and Saturday?" they ask, pointing at me. "Oh, I can entertain myself," she replies. While I'm "busy" at Wembley with the final, she'll be going to see a play on the West End.

Boarding the full flight to Heathrow, I was scanning rows -- looking for the more obvious black-and-yellow among a sea of red. It's convenient to travel on Virgin Atlantic -- with their predominant red trimmings; and I felt very quickly settled in.

Finally landing at Heathrow, the enormity of what I was here to witness started to hit me. I've known I was coming for months, or at least I'd hoped I was, but actually being here now makes it all different. "What are you here for?" I was asked at Passport Control. "A little football match," I replied. The agent looked at me skeptically: "You have a ticket?""Yeah.

The nonsense starts tomorrow, with a visit to the Bayern hotel. After that?!read more
