Some Manchester City fans decided it would be quicker to walk on the motorway in order to reach the Champions League final as Istanbul became gridlocked on Saturday night.
With the Ataturk Stadium an hour away from the centre of Istanbul, fans were advised to arrive at the City fan park as early as 2pm ahead of a 10pm kick off, local time. Only one main road services the stadium and one metro line, so traffic jams were predicted well in advance of the final.
Even with plenty of warnings, footage on social media shows hundreds of City fans abandoning their cars or taxis and walking along the side of the motorway to get to the stadium in time for kick-off.
