'Euro 2016 final all over again' - Fans notice something about BT Sport's Europa League coverage

Thousands of people have descended on Baku for the final of the Europa League .

Chelsea take on Arsenal in the Azerbaijan capital, with visitors flocking to the far east of Europe for the big occasion.

But while all of the supporters are most welcome, there are some unwelcome visitors in Azerbaijan too - giant moths!

UEFA's decision to hand the final to Azerbaijan has caused a huge amount of controversy, with Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan deciding not to travel to the final with his teammates due to safety concerns.

There is political unrest between Mkhitaryan's Armenia and Azerbaijan, while the ticket allocation of only 6,000 per club was criticised too.

And while the midfield man will be missing, there are giant moths inside the stadium that could cause a problem for players and fans alike.

The final is being shown live on BT Sport, with presenter Jake Humphrey joined on the sidelines by Cesc Fabregas, Eidur Gudjohnsen and Martin Keown.

And as the coverage began, the moths came to the fore, or at least one did, with one landing on former Chelsea man Gudjohnsen's shoulder while he was answering a question posed by Humphrey.

It led to a number of people questioning what they had just seen on the live stream.
