In addition to the ongoing French Open Tennis tournament, Paris is also hosting the UEFA Champions League final: Real Madrid v Liverpool. It's the European equivalent of the Superbowl.
Football will be on CBS with pre-game coverage starting at 1:30pm; kickoff at 3pm ET
Tennis will be on NBC.
GO LIVERPOOL!
Off to the pub! We are in the Official Supporters Club, Durham Region.
We've met Jurgen twice, and are completely devoted to him!!
Hala Madrid!
Never thought I'd say that as a Barça fan lol, but I've enjoyed watching them play this past season, big respect for Carlo Ancelotti, this is just his first season back with Real Madrid as their manager.
Mo Salah fan here (of course a Liverpool fan, too).
Go Reds!
Parisians think they are always at the center of the universe!
Go, Real Madrid! I have no real preference but my daughter and son-in-law are huge Madrid fans, so I must cheer them on or risk family discord. 😊
"Up to 60,000 Liverpool fans - many without tickets - are expected in the French capital"
Let's hope those English fans behave themselves this time around and it's not a repeat of the Euro 2020 Final!
I wondered why my neighbors were hauling in cases of beer! (Amsterdam)
Paris, the center of the universe ? How true . Absolutely ! C'est un endroit !
They have set up the Liverpool fan zone literally around the corner -- I mean like a couple of hundred feet from my apartment. I am very glad to be home in the States instead !!
RTL radio said that they are expecting 60,000 Liverpool fans, while only 20,000 have been allotted tickets. So I guess that means the other 40k are going to be in my 'hood.
😳😳😳
Edit to add : here is some footage from today and what I am thankfully missing. There wouldn't be any going to the grocery store or running normal errands for me today !!
I wouldn't be surprised if some weren't allowed entry into France.
Oh dear, start of the game has been delayed due to fans without tickets jumping fences to get into the stadium. Police have had to use tear gas:(
Paris hosting soccer and tennis... hmm, not the center of the universe, but perhaps the center of the galaxy, just a black hole?
:-)
The great grunt and flop festival!
For the devotees of these activities, I hope you enjoy.
My pub is bereft
A masterclass in defending (and luck), Real Madrid prevails again!
Paris certainly is the center of my universe! And I take off tomorrow to be back!
