You'll never walk alone...
And yesterday Liverpool football club certainly did not, as 500,000 of their loyal supporters took to the streets of Liverpool, to greet the team upon returning from Madrid as champions of Europe.
Liverpool have won the Champions League for the first time since their historic win in Istanbul back in 2005.
The team landed at Liverpool John Lennon airport, ahead of the homecoming parade.
The parade, which started at Allerton Maze, slowly made its way around the outskirts with fans along route cheering Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Upon arrival into the city centre, fans chanted anthems such as ‘Allez, Allez, Allez’ and ‘You’ll never walk alone’, as red smoke and confetti showered over the adoring fans, some of whom had waited for more than six hours to get a glimpse of the champions of Europe.
It has been a bitter sweet season for Liverpool, as their fight to win the premier league was lost on the final day to rivals Manchester City, by just one point.
Fans had travelled far and wide to see the team. Michelle, from Crewe said, “We set off at 12pm to make sure we got the perfect spot”.
She added, “waiting for the bus to come was fantastic, the crowd were both amazing and entertaining”.
The streets were also lined with adoring fans from Merseyside. Local fans, Luke and his Mum, were also excited to see the team. They said, “it’s been such an emotional season, we are just so glad the team have something to s
how for their hard work”.
Liverpool can now have a fantastic summer, with their sixth Champions League title under their belt, and begin to focus on next seasons Premier League.
