And such has been the congestion, that many have opted to get out of their taxis in order to walk the rest of the way.
Reporter Matt Pearson tweeted: “Hundreds of Manchester City fans are having to walk along the edge of the motorway with the road to the Ataturk Olympic stadium gridlocked.
“Shuttle buses from the fan park also barely moving.”
Pearson then added: “It’s a long walk uphill and still pretty warm. Locals selling water, beer and food at the roadside. It’s still 2 and a half hours until kick off.”
