Those in the city will have to find alternative routes to the stadium as San Mames metro station, which serves the stadium, will be closed from 3pm on matchday. It comes amid fears of a 'crush' and overcrowding at the station, according to Bilbao daily newspaper El Correo. The publication reported that it would be the first time the station will be fully shut on the day of a major event, with fans not allowed to enter or exit.
