A group of Liverpool fans decided to apply the literal meaning of the saying "You will not walk alone", but this time not in Anfield, but in the canal leading to the French capital, Paris.
The Reds are preparing to face Real Madrid, this evening, Saturday, in the Champions League final in Paris, aspiring to add a new championship to the team after achieving the FA Cup and the League Cup.
Liverpool fan Paddy O'Toole, along with 12 other Reds fans, rented a boat and made their way to Saint Malo yesterday, Friday, to reach Paris, after discovering that their flight had been cancelled.
And not only this group, but the trips of hundreds of fans were canceled, which raises fears about the presence of the English fans in the stands, which may be in the interest of Real Madrid.
Paddy told the Liverpool Echo: "My colleagues Patrick Adam, Tom Dring and others had their flight canceled, and the father of one of them rushed to Heathrow Airport to book another flight but it didn't work out."
He added, "They came from Jersey at the last minute and met us and asked us how we can move to France," so we felt sorry and had to do something.
The site indicated that as soon as the fans arrived in the jersey, everyone began to search for a way to cross the channel in order to watch the Liverpool and Real Madrid match in the Champions League final.
Paddy called his friend Gary Brenance Rip, who owns a swimming education company that specializes in a fleet of motor ships.
Indeed, the group was taken on board the boat to St. Marlo in France, and among the people on board was David Walsh, the 72-year-old man whose age did not prevent him from embarking on this adventure.
And they all appeared in a video clip while they were on the speedboat, crawling over the waves, with great joy after reaching the desired place.
It is worth noting that the expected number of Liverpool fans in the French capital may reach 60,000, as they began to dominate Paris by being in bars and throughout the city, but fears remain that a large number of them will be absent from the stands of the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
