Yesterday, Jürgen Klopp and the Liverpool squad jetted off to Paris for tonight’s Champions League final clash with Real Madrid.
As you can see above, staff members were welcoming and supportive, with one fist-bumping Divock Origi as he prepared to board the plane.
However, that wasn’t the only nice gesture.
What’s the story?
Well, Liverpool fans will love this.
The fire and rescue services at John Lennon Airport decided to make an arch of water to send the Reds off, as they fly to Paris.
You can see footage of the moment below.
It was meant as a symbol of good luck, and hopefully, it will bring fortune to Liverpool at the Stade de France tonight.
Given the extraordinary way in which Real Madrid have won games in the Champions League this season, Liverpool may need to rely on a bit of luck.
Clearly, those working at John Lennon Airport are keen to see Los Blancos defeated in tonight’s showpiece event.
Liverpool must be focused against Real Madrid
As aforesaid, Real Madrid have won games in the Champions League this season in bizarre circumstances.
They were seconds from losing to Manchester City in the semi-final, only to score two stoppage-time goals to transform the game.
Real Madrid did similar in the Round of 16 against Paris Saint-Germain, scoring three goals in 17 minutes to kill the Parisians off.
Then, in the quarter-final against Chelsea, the Spanish giants scored three goals in just 25 minutes to take control of the tie.
Clearly, Carlo Ancelotti instructs his side to go for the kill, and score as many as possible while the opponent is stunned.
Liverpool must be wary of that, and if they do concede, it is imperative that more goals do not follow in quick succession.
If that happens, then the tie could become too difficult to claw back.
