Jurgen Klopp talks about “revenge” for Real Madrid
Liverpool players are upset about not being able to take their families to the pitch if they win the Champions League final, according to reports in Spain.
The Reds will face Real Madrid in Paris, where they will seek revenge for what happened four years ago in Kyiv. The Spaniards then won 3-1 thanks to two errors by Loris Karius and an impressive goal by Gareth Bale. When Liverpool won the competition 12 months later in Madrid, their players were able to celebrate with their partners and children on the pitch. However, UEFA seems to have ruled out similar scenes at the Stade de France.

However, Reds coach Jurgen Klopp has commented on the allocation offered to fans of both clubs after each team was limited to less than a quarter of the capacity of 81,000 spectators. of the stadium.
“When you see the ticket prices and the number of tickets you get … is that right?” the German asked, “Is it right that we only get 20,000? [tickets], Real gets 20,000 and there are 75,000? That’s 35,000. What?? Where are these tickets [going]? “
