Fans risk missing a major football final unless they pay a subscription. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has written to TNT Sports on Saturday asking for the Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain to be shown free in the UK. He criticised the decision to place it behind a £4.99 HBO Max subscription. Starmer said the match, due in Budapest, should be available to all supporters across the country.
