Sterling handed warning by Van Persie after another poor display

Raheem Sterling’s underwhelming start to life in the Eredivisie reached a new low during a disappointing De Klassieker appearance against Ajax. The former England international struggled to impact the game before being substituted early in the second half, prompting a stern reality check from his manager. Robin van Persie has now warned the veteran forward that his fitness and on-field contributions must align quickly to aid Feyenoord's pursuit of Champions League football.

Sterling eyes 'old level' despite only lasting 63 mins on first Feyenoord start

Raheem Sterling made his first start for Feyenoord on Sunday, but the evening ended with mixed emotions for the England international. After two prior appearances as a substitute, the former Manchester City and Chelsea winger was named in the starting XI for the Eredivisie clash against NAC Breda, lasting just over an hour before being withdrawn. Despite the restricted minutes, Sterling is adamant that his physical condition is rapidly improving as he seeks to rediscover his best form in Rotterdam.

Frequently asked questions

Apart from the UEFA Champions League final, you cannot buy tickets for Champions League directly through UEFA themselves. Instead, they are sold club-by-club among the teams competing in this year's edition. You must visit the individual club’s website for the fixture you want to attend and buy your seat from there. Capacity is always limited for these Champions League knockout matches and demand often exceeds available allocation.  

In addition, fans can purchase seats on the secondary market. StubHub is one of the leading retailers for those seeking to buy tickets through alternative channels. StubHub is a legitimate merchant in the ticket resale marketplace and a safe place for fans to buy tickets. StubHub's website guarantees that you will get tickets in time for the event you are attending and a valid ticket for entry.

The Allianz Arena in Munich (known as the Munich Football Arena for UEFA competition purposes) is staging this year’s Champions League Final on Saturday, May 31 at 8 pm (GMT). It was opened in 2005 and has a 70,000 seating capacity for international matches and 75,000 for domestic matches. It is the second-largest stadium in Germany behind the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund.

As well as being the home of Germany’s Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, the Munich venue hosted a number of games during the 2006 FIFA World Cup and last year’s Euro 2024 Finals. The one and only previous UEFA Champions League Final to be played at the Allianz Arena was the 2012 Final between Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Despite having a strong home backing, Bayern failed to land the prize as Chelsea led by Roberto Di Matteo would come out on top after a nailbiting penalty shootout.
