Thousands of Liverpool fans are gearing up to make the journey to Paris, after a stunning victory over Villarreal secured the Reds a place in the Champions League final.
UEFA confirmed earlier this year that this season’s Champions League final has been moved to Paris from St Petersburg - following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. A statement from UEFA in February confirmed the change of venue following an 'extraordinary meeting' of its executive committee.
The Champions League final was set to be played at the Gazprom Arena in St Petersburg on May 28 after last year's showdown between Chelsea and Manchester City was moved to Portugal. But after Russia President Vladimir Putin launched a military invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, UEFA have now made the decision to strip St Petersburg of the showpiece event and move it to the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
