VIDEO. “We came from Sydney”: Liverpool fans invade Paris for the Champions League final


The football planet has made an appointment in the French capital. On the eve of the Champions League final, which opposes Liverpool and Real Madrid, at the Stade de France, in Saint-Denis, tens of thousands of football fans made the trip.

In Parisian bars, some are already starting the celebrations. While others have come from far away… “It took us 27 hours to get here! “, say supporters of Sydney (Australia).

Over 60,000 English fans expected

Paris has not seen such an outpouring of supporters since Euro 2016. More than 60,000 English fans are expected in France this weekend for the final. Mostly without a place for the match, only 22,000 tickets were scheduled for Liverpool. This poses organizational and security problems. Several fan-zones have been planned to accommodate them.

Fewer expected, Real Madrid supporters also made the trip: “We are confident Madrid always wins the finals,” shares Pablo, Real Madrid supporter.

In the event of victory, some already know how they will celebrate it: “By still drinking a lot of alcohol, good French wine and a little champagne now that we are in Paris”, replies Tony, Liverpool supporter.
