A CHELSEA fan had the CBS Sports crew in stitches after revealing he had travelled 5,000 miles to root against Arsenal in Budapest.
The Gunners are poised to round off one of their greatest ever seasons if they can secure a Champions League trophy in their final against Paris Saint-Germain in Hungary.

But one fan is adamant that it will not come to pass, after making the journey from Nairobi, Kenya just to cheer against Mikel Arteta‘s men.
A reporter in Budapest was broadcasting live to the CBS Sports studio when he invited a man over to discuss the game, and found out he had made the long trip from the East African nation.
But when the reporter asked why he was wearing a PSG shirt, and not supporting Arsenal who have a significant fanbase in Kenya, he revealed that he is not a fan of either team.
He explained: “Yeah I’m a hater, I support Chelsea. I came just to hate-watch Arsenal.”

The hilarious response had the presenters back in the studio laughing wildly, with the interviewer describing it as a historic hate-watch.
But the fan was not finished, as he added his brutal prediction for the fixture.
He said: “It’s going to be 8-1 to PSG, (Khvicha) Kvaratskhelia hat-trick, (Ousmane) Dembele hat-trick and (Bradley) Barcola two goals.
“I feel like 8-1 is lenient, they can actually do more if they want.”

That result would make it the heaviest defeat in Champions League final history, outdoing even PSG’s 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in last year’s final.
That result would leave a lot of rival fans in London happy, including the Stamford Bridge faithful it seems.
The man was not done with his bold predictions, tipping his own club for glory next season.
He is clearly a big supporter of recently-announced gaffer Xabi Alonso, and tipped him to make quite the splash in his debut campaign in West London.
When asked about the Blues’ prospects under the Spaniard, he said: “We’re winning the league next season, we don’t have any European competition next season.”
