Liverpool-supporting dad takes his son out of school for Champions League final

A Liverpool-supporting dad has risked the wrath of his son's high school by taking him out of school to head to Paris for the Champions League final.

Thousands of Liverpool fans, including former Reds defender Jamie Carragher and his 19-year-old son James, have already set off for France, where they will see Jurgen Klopp's team play Spanish side Real Madrid.

While the trip over the channel to get into France is not as arduous as the last time these two teams met in 2018 - when the final was in Kyiv, Ukraine - many supporters are keen to make a weekend of it, including travelling out on Thursday or Friday.
