Terror alert ahead of Champions League final in Milan

There has been a terror alert ahead of the Champions League final in Milan.

A metro station was evacuated after a suspicious package was found by police just hours before the final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid was due to kick off. It was discovered at the Cadorna station in central Milan which is just a 10 minute walk from the San Siro stadium where the final is being held. Cadorna is one of the busiest stations in the Milanese metro system and would likely be passed through by fans going to the game which kicks off at 7:45pm GMT. Thousands of Spanish fans were already gathering in Milan ahead of the game between the two Madrid sides. https://twitter.com/Copa90/status/736519263566090240 Fans were mingling in the city's famous Duomo Square which is just around the corner from the station which was evacuated by police.
