Teen desperate for Champions League ticket after meeting Steven Gerrard and Jurgen Klopp

A 13-year-old boy was “made up” when he bumped into Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and club legend Steven Gerrard two nights before the Champions League final.

Ashton Roberts was on his way back from buying fan merchandise with his mum when they spotted the two enjoying a drink in The Freshfield. The Formby High School student leapt out of the car and went over to get a photo with them.
