Liverpool are heading to Paris for the Champions League final, with 26 players boarding a flight to John Lennon Airport as Jurgen Klopp’s traveling team.
The Reds will face Real Madrid at the Stade de France on Saturday night, with the intention of taking home a seventh European Cup in the club’s history.
It comes at the end of an incredible campaign for Liverpool, with the FA Cup and League Cup trophies already sealed and a parade of victories in the city reserved for Sunday.
However, the final will almost certainly be tough after Real beat PSG, Chelsea and Man City in the round of 16, with Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Rodrygo in good form.
Liverpool’s traveling team has now been confirmed for the match in Paris, with Thiago among those on the flight while working to get in full shape after an Achilles injury.
A total of 26 players flew from John Lennon Airport around lunchtime, with 23 of them ready to make the day’s selection for the final.
Divock Origi was part of the touring squad, but is not expected to take part on Saturday, as the Belgian suffered a muscle injury last weekend.
But otherwise, it is a Liverpool team in full form, reinforced by the availability of Fabinho, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah after the last setbacks.
Young center Rhys Williams made the flight as part of the first team, and the 21-year-old will likely support the center group along with Harvey Elliott, Takumi Minamino, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adrian.
Shortly after the Reds landed in Paris, a pre-match press conference will be held at the Stade de France, starting at 15.45 (BST).
Klopp will speak to the press as usual, with the coach joining Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson.
