MERPOL was deployed to this evenings match. Can only describe it as the worst European match I've ever worked or experienced. I thought the behaviour of the fans at the turnstiles was exemplary in shocking circumstances. You were not late 100%
From the FCO - Quote from a local journalist in Kyiv "LFC may have lost the game but the fans won the hearts of Kyiv's residents. We are very lucky that Liverpool made it to the Final. It was them who brought festivity and a great atmosphere to the city"

Hi all. I am aware of a posting doing the rounds on social media regards Jurgen Klopp. I have just driven past Anfield Stadium and can 100% confirm the banner on the Kop railings reads JURGEN KLOPP YNWA and has NEVER read anything different.

@AVFC
. Please DO NOT come to the ground. We are ALL living and working in unprecedented times. The players want your support but ONLY from home. Covid has NOT gone away. NOBODY wants another lockdown. Do the right thing and watch the game with your Sunday roast.
⚽ Just to be 100% clear. Any chants in relation to 'murderers' or 'always the victim' are football tragedy related and totally unacceptable. Behind them are people who have suffered unimaginable pain. Were possible, positive police and stewarding action will be taken.
@LFCHelp
To the lucky 2000. Thanks for your patience this evening. Genuinely appreciated by all 👏👏👏. Heres to getting the other 50 000 back when the time is right.

Both Liverpool and Newcastle team coaches safely at the stadium. Approx 150 persons gathered to applaud the home team in. Supporting your club in the way your manager and captain asked.
Whole of Anfield has just stood and applauded on the 26th minute. Everton flag in the Kop. Fans with Everton scalfs raised in the air. Total respect for that.
