Widespread Streaming Issues Mar Champions League Final Viewing for Many Russians

Many Russian viewers experienced significant disruptions while attempting to watch the Champions League final via the Okko online cinema platform. The issues, which included site unavailability and video loading failures, occurred around midnight Moscow time.

The problems affected both the website and the mobile application, coinciding with the highly anticipated match between teams from Milan and Paris. While some users were able to stream the game without issue, many others were unable to access the broadcast.

The Downdetector service registered a surge in complaints, indicating widespread outages. Frustrated viewers took to social media to express their anger and disappointment, flooding Okko’s accounts with negative feedback.

Despite the streaming difficulties faced by some, the match proceeded with one of the teams finishing the first half with a 2-0 lead and later scoring a third goal. Celebrations erupted in Paris as fans prematurely celebrated what could have been a historic victory for their club in the major European tournament.
