Tonight, thousands of British fans will pack Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium for the finals of the Champions League soccer tournament. This year, the finals are an all-British affair played between Manchester United and Chelsea. But the most interesting drama may be in the stands.

Andrei Lugovoi, Scotland Yard's prime suspect in the London murder of ex-FSB agent Alexander Litvinenko in 2006, has also scored tickets to the game and will be watching from the VIP section. Not only has Russia refused to extradite Lugovoi for trial in the UK, he was elected to parliament last December. Lugovoi's status has been a major sore spot for British-Russian relations and his presence at the game should be a humiliating reminder of Britain's powerlessness in the case.

The Guardian's Luke Harding also has a great interview with Lugovoi today in which the ex-KGB man denies involvement in Litvinenko's poisoning but doesn't seem all that broken up about it.
