A Liverpool fan taking Reds to Paris for the Champions League final for £1 has arrived in the French capital.
YouTuber Simon Wilson bought a 22-year-old coach to take a bus-load of fans to Paris after being appalled at the extortionate price of ferry and flight fares.
However, after setting off from Anfield Stadium for Melwood training ground on Thursday, Simon soon encountered several problems.

Simon told the ECHO: "The coach was a bit ropey, it was like a sauna in there. There was no air conditioning, we were sweating just going from Anfield to Melwood and once we started we were like 'this is going to be a long journey' in a coach with 50 people where you can’t open the windows."
The other issue was the age of the coach, Simon added: "We left Anfield at 10.30am, and everything was sorted with the insurance.
"However I was still waiting on confirmation that the bus would be ok to drive in Europe, it was fine in the UK, but it was debatable in Europe, but I was told that it would be fine so that was all good."
Simon continued: "When we stopped for a tour of Melwood, we just thought let’s just wait here until we get a green light, anyway turns out there is a lot more to it, there is a low emission zone in Paris. The coach was over 22-years-old so it doesn’t meet any emissions standards in place in Paris."
Opting for 'Plan B' Simon organised a second coach that complied with Paris' regulation. However, the drama didn't stop there as following the delays, Simon and the fans missed their ferry. Luckily, they managed to get a cancellation for a later ferry, getting them into Calais for 4am.
However, in his latest update, Simon revealed he and the Liverpool fans have made it to Paris. Sharing a photo with the ECHO, Simon could be seen with his family and friends by the Eiffel Tower.
