Thousands of fans in the streets console Liverpool

Still affected by the recent disappointment of the defeat in Paris in the Champions League final and influenced by the presumed departure of Senegalese Sadio Mane, Jurgen Klopp’s squad and also the women’s football squad toured the streets of Liverpool to claim the titles. celebrate won in the season in front of thousands of fans who attended the event.

The German coach already announced that the team would end the season with a party with his fans, which also happened in Paris against Real Madrid. So it was. The red box has closed the course with the title of the English Cup and the League Cup. Premier League runner-up by one point. And second in the Champions League.

Before the vehicle started and the procession began to move, the coach Jurgen Klopp and the captain Jordan Henderson took part in the memory of the victims of the tragedy of the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, which marks thirty-seven years in which thirty-nine football supporters died. Both, along with the entity’s executive director, Billy Hogan, laid wreaths at the Heysel Memorial in Anfield.

The players of a team that has lost only four in the 63 matches played were accommodated in a convertible bus. Dressed in their red t-shirts, scarves around their necks and the two trophies in hand, they showed the prizes to the thousands of followers who crowded the route along which the parade traveled on both sides.

Only a few hours have passed since Saint Dennis’ frustration, but the fans wanted to be thankful to a team that had them on their toes until the last second of the final competition.

Also taking part in the tour, on the open-top bus, was the first women’s football team to be promoted to the WSL, the top division in England. A little further on, a truck was setting off fireworks.

The atmosphere grew with every step through Liverpool’s most emblematic avenues. Gone was the reverse of Paris. The audience was excited and with them the players and Jurgen Klopp.

“Losing the Champions League final last night and seeing all these people here is absolutely exceptional. This is the best club in the world. I don’t care what people think,” Klopp told the club’s official television.

“You have to plan this and I expected to find something like this. Unbelievable. We have lost the last two trophies, but these people are not forgotten. It’s a great boost for everything to come. I am proud of these players and also of all the supporters. When I see people’s eyes, you feel that you don’t have to win, but give everything you have. I’m not drunk, I’m excited,” said Jurgen Klopp.

And it is that the red template did not have the spirit to celebrate the season, although the presence of the fans through the streets of Liverpool gradually shook the spirits of the footballers.

Convertible buses raced through the city streets to the music of a truck accompanying them, firing red rockets and confetti.

People cheered on the staff who waved from the top of the vehicle and thanked the support.

“I woke up in the morning in a terrible mood, just like everyone else. We were disappointed and a little afraid of the parade. But then when you get on this bus, you realize that you have the best fans in the world. cheers everyone up and it’s a happy ending to a very tough season,” Andy Robertson told Liverpool TV.

“You want to win the grand final and after losing you don’t know what the reception will be like and if there will be people. But they gave us something to be happy about. We must show them our love. This is a thank you to the fans,” added the red defender.

Captain Jordan Henderson acknowledged the disappointment, but also the need to make amends with the fans. “When we got on the bus, we weren’t sure what we would find. It was disappointing last night, but the players gave their all. The least we can say to the fans is thank you for everything they’ve given us this season. It’s a lot for the boys.”

“This is football. I suppose you can say other times we were a bit lucky in other finals, with penalties. You have to take it as it is. The season was incredible. We ended up with two titles. You can’t them all win. Next year we will try again”, he promised.

Trent Alexander Arnold spoke in similar terms. “It was hard to know how this would go. It was an incredible season that ended with a big disappointment. We are proud of how far we have come. Losing two titles is a bit depressing. We have two out of four which is more than any other English team and it motivates us to get back to racing.”

The rumor of the farewell of the Senegalese Sadio Mané hung in the atmosphere. The African striker acknowledged that he plans to leave the red club, which marked the culmination of an intense course with four defeats in sixty-three games.

For two hours the caravan made its way through the city streets to stroll and show off the League Cup and FA Cup trophies finishing in front of the Royal Liver Building. The mood was lifted by the thousands of fans who responded to the template.
