MORE than 1,000 Liverpool fans have had their flights to Kiev for the Champions League final cancelled.

Travel operator Worldchoic­e Sports grounded three planes after failing to secure landing slots at Boryspil Airport.

Fans who paid £950 each for the return journey from Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport to watch Saturday’s match against Real Madrid will get refunds.

said: “I trusted your shower to arrange landing slots before you sold the tickets.” It is believed the problem arose over the size of the aircraft. Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson has contacted his counterpar­t in Kiev, former boxer Vitali Klitschko, and said a solution was “close”. Worldchoic­e Sports said: “We applied for slots in the correct manner and time frame. This problem is with Kiev.” One group of 540 fans have spent £411,000 hiring three private jets to Kiev. And Simon Davies, 47, has already set off – as he is driving all 3,400 miles to Kiev and back. FOOTBALLER Ronaldinho is said to be marrying two women at the same time.

The Brazilian ace has two “fiancees”, Priscilla Coelho, left, and Beatriz Souza.

The two women have been living “harmonious­ly” with the former Barcelona star since December at his £5million Rio de Janeiro mansion, according to reports.

Ronaldinho, who is reportedly “adept at polygamy”, will marry in August.

Both women receive an “allowance” of £1,500. He also always gives the two the same presents.
