European Champions League 2018

Congratulations to Liverpool on reaching the final. They nearly chucked it though.

As with the first leg when they allowed Roma two late goals to reduce the final score to 5-2 in the Reds' favour, the second leg this evening saw Liverpool throw away a 2-1 lead in the match to lose by 2-4 with Roma again scoring two late goals.

Over the two games then Liverpool won by an aggregate score of 7-6.

Well done to Liverpool but they`ll have to do better than that against Real Madrid or it`ll be game over by half time..

I'm not a huge football fan hence the late arrival to the party here but congratulations to Liverpool nonetheless.

What are your sporting interests, Aviador?

 

[Aviador]

I don't mind football, it's a good excuse to go to the pub. I don't mind playing sports, but I'm not follower of any club or team to be honest.

Anyone have any idea how many Liverpool fans will be going?

 

[Silvercity]

I' m not really into football either but I know it' s a big deal to many, so happy for their fans that they have done well. Liverpool Airport will also get a boost from the event plus some interesting aircraft to see. If I can I'm going to take a look, Although I'm sure I wont be alone for that !

Liverpool and Real Madrid have been allocated 16,626 tickets each which is around half the capacity of the Kiev stadium. As with other competitions such as the FA Cup Final the two finalists receive a derisory number of tickets. Liverpool regularly fill their 54,000-seater Anfield Stadium with an average of over 53,000 in the season that ended today, and Real Madid play at the 81,000-capacity Bernabeu Stadium with an average crowd of just under 70,000.

It can be seen therefore that a large proportion of regular supporters have no chance of a ticket for the final.
