You're right. We were 4/6, they were 6/5.
Very little in it though, & they had won it the two previous years.
That's the big advantage we should have this time. This side, these players, have experienced this just a year ago, & know what to expect & how much losing it hurts
You'd hope that would give us the advantage over a spurs side with no experience of their own that comes close.
Salah, "please bring Anfield to Madrid"
Fuck that Ajax bottling it end of the game. Instead of being cool heads killing it they made a few very poor attempts at scoring, giving Spurs the opportunity to create something. I really don't feel good about this.
Fixed that for you, mate...
Outlier right there.

The home dressing room that Liverpool will use for the Champions League final
Spurs had initially been drawn as the home team and Liverpool as the away side for the all English final in the Spanish capital.
Officials have decided to swap the teams around due to ‘security reasons’ with Jurgen Klopp’s side getting the luxurious home facilities.

The smaller away facilities Tottenham will use at the Wanda Metropolitano
Mauricio Pochettino’s side will have to make do with the much small dressing room.
Officials said they put a lot of thought into the decision taking into account the fans, Spanish police and the city on the whole.
Wanda Metropolitano stadium manager Fernado Fariza told Sky Sports News: “Before we took our decision, we made an evaluation between the away fans, the Spanish police and the city of Madrid.

“We took into account the number of fans of both of the finalist, the metro lines and the fan meeting points in the city.
“Taking into account all these issues, the final decision was that Liverpool fans should arrive at the south stand and they will have all their tickets in the south stand.
“On the other hand, Tottenham supporters will arrive at the north stand and they will have all their tickets in the north stand.”
Both clubs have been handed just 16,000 tickets for the final in the 67,000-seater stadium while travel and accommodation costs have rocketed since the semi-finals.

It doesn't really explain why. Bonus though
Wow. The better changing room. I feel like we’re 1-0 up already.
Liverpool FC can confirm that 30,508 qualifying supporters have registered for the Champions League final ticket ballot.
The club’s ticket allocation is set by UEFA and the governing body has confirmed that Liverpool will receive 16,613 tickets for the game, which will be played at Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid on Saturday June 1.
Those supporters who have qualified and registered for the ticket ballot have approximately a one in 4.6 chance of being successful to purchase a ticket on Friday May 17.
Now that the registration period has ended, the Electoral Reform Services will undertake the ballot process and the club will notify supporters of the outcome via email on Thursday May 16.

Now I'm no mathematician, but 30,508 into 16,613 means our supporters should have a better than 50/50 chance of getting a ticket. This suggests the club is distributing more than half of these tickets to cronies. Which is frankly shit.
I worked it as:
30508÷4.6=6632.17391304
So just over 10,000 tickets to our corporates, ex shareholders, current shareholders, sponsors, staff & players family & friends.
That seems an awfully high number that. Actually, no, it IS an awfully high humber.
Seems suicidally transparent to share the number and the chance of getting a ticket. What I expect would happen is that a lot sponsors would give tickets to those in their buiness who are reds (at least that is what I experience with corporate tickets flying around my company) but it is a crazy amount.
"The breakdown of the club’s ticket allocation is as follows.
General admission supporter allocation – 63 per cent
Contractual supporter allocation; to include seasonal hospitality members and priority rights holders – 25 per cent
Matchday officials/first-team players/former players/media allocations – 11 per cent
Commercial partners, contractual allocations – 1 per cent
The club will be utilising the higher priced tickets for the contractual allocations, meaning the majority of the lower priced tickets, including all those priced at £60, will be available for the general supporter allocation."

Love that. The Liverpool version of that song should be song way more often than it is.
Last time it was 1/3 and Pete got shafted
It's today isn't it? Seen a fair few on twitter have got their emails this morning.
Ok, looks like it'll be from 2pm onwards. Odd though, cos some people on twitter saying they got £60 tickets this morning. Including Graham. Yes, that Graham.
Not announced till this afternoon, they are doing the ballot this morning and emails will be sent out later.

They must be the lads with 7 games, they were able to buy yesterday and today.
Ahh, that makes sense.
