A Red Army of Liverpool football fans began to arrive in Paris today as 6,000 French police prepared to welcome them for the European Cup Final.
A massive security operation swung into operation on Friday, in time for kick off against Spanish Champions Real Madrid on Saturday night.
‘We expect upwards of 60,000 Liverpool fans alone to come, and about two-thirds will be without tickets,’ said a local police spokesman.
‘There will be less from Madrid, but both sets of supporters will be encouraged to use fan zones and to respect others enjoying the city this weekend’.
