3 p.m.
Thousands of Liverpool and Tottenham fans are gathering under the sunny and clear skies in Madrid hours before their teams face off in the all-English Champions League final.
More than 30,000 English fans are expected to travel to watch the final at the 68,000-capacity Metropolitano Stadium. Liverpool and Tottenham were each allocated nearly 17,000 tickets, but Spanish authorities expect many thousands more to make the trip.
« I came out here. I flew on my own, I do not have a ticket, » said Liverpool fan Frank O’Leary. « I just came to be with all the beautiful Reds fans and sing my heart out and watch the game in a bar.
