Liverpool and Real Madrid will face off on Tuesday night in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League clash at Anfield, but video footage have now shown LFC fans setting off fireworks prior to the match already.
The footage emerged overnight as a massive firework display taking place at Liverpool’s Royal Albert Dock, just next to the hotel where the Real Madrid team happen to be lodging, ahead of the UCL tie.
The incident occurred at 2am UK time directly outside the entrance to the building of the team’s hotel and lasted close to a minute.
Was this a mistake or just pure coincidence? Well, it seems some Liverpool fans are trying to make sure Jurgen Klopp’s side has every possible edge going into the match, and have decided to use some off tactics which aren’t entirely unusual ahead of a big game like this.
With the Reds’ chances of entering the Premier League top 4 – and then qualifying for the 2023/24 Champions League – really hanging in the balance, winning the UCL this year would be an big victory for the club, albeit a huge feat as it stands.
Check out the video footage below:
