Liverpool – Liverpool’s Champions League-winning stars have partied into the early hours after being crowned kings of Europe for the first time since 2005 following a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur. 

Wives and girlfriends joined the team in jubilant celebrations on the pitch as each player took it in turns to parade around with the coveted European Cup following an unforgettable night in Madrid.

Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards was there with beau Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – who ended up being an unused sub on the night but led riotous celebrations in the winning changing room. 

Away from the pitch, fans across the globe celebrated the win. Supporters who had travelled to Madrid to cheer the team on too to the streets and bars, partying to the early hours.

Fans from both teams mingled amiably long into the night as they had done so in the hours leading up to the game, which was free of any major trouble. Many hugged and shook hands with congratulations or commiserations being issued, depending on which colours they were wearing. 

This is while back on home turf in Liverpool, fans rejoiced, pouring out of pubs and clubs in the city centre singing and chanting, with some even climbing on top of a bus stop and hailing the new champions.

Liverpool fan Taran Singh, who flew from Hong Kong for the match and paid £1500 for his ticket said: ‘It’s been worth every single penny. I’m really proud of the team, I can’t stop smiling.

‘We are the champions of Europe again, it’s a great feeling.’

Tottenham fan Brian Moriarty, who had travelled by coach and train from his home in Hull to be in Madrid said: ‘I never got a ticket for the game and looking back on it, I’m quite glad that I didn’t. The touts have been asking for ridiculous amounts.

‘The atmosphere has been fantastic and there’s been a lot of banter between the two groups of fans. The weather’s been wonderful, it’s just a real pity about the result.’

As he finished speaking, Mr Moriarty was embraced by Liverpool fan John Butcher, which summed up the convivial nature of the all English affair.

Mr Butcher, who travelled to the Spanish capital by coach said: ‘It’s been a long journey, but I’ve loved every minute of it.

‘We’ve had a great time with the Spurs lads and there’s been some great banter. I’m going to buy them a drink and just enjoy this moment. It feels very special.’

Liverpool fan Joseph Hall, 26, from Leeds, said: ‘We drove 650km from Barcelona to get here (Madrid) and we watched it outside a bloody kebab shop.

‘We underestimated how many people would be here.

‘But it’s all worth it – it’s the best day ever. Party time.’

Many of those who tried and failed to get into the match followed the game on mobile phones outside the stadium.

Danish national Jimmy Andersen, a Liverpool supporter due to the Reds’ association with countryman Jan Molby, described the win as ‘the longest orgasm ever’.
