Liverpool fans chant Virgil Van Dijk's song at the Eiffel Tower

Liverpool fans have taken over the Eiffel Tower ahead of Saturday's Champions League final in Paris.

The gardens around the iconic monument were sea of red as hundreds of fans got into the spirit ahead of Liverpool FC's huge match against Real Madrid. LFC are hoping to lift the trophy for the seventh time on Saturday after last winning the league in Madrid in 2019.

As thousands of fans arrived in the French capital they took to the Eiffel Tower to have a drink, sing and dance. Fans were seen belting out Virgil Van Dijk's song as well as chanting about Andy Robertson.

Fans also took over the nearby L'Avenue Bistro where they screamed Allez Allez Allez in the street. Footage caught by an ECHO reporter showed a sea of people in red shirts belting out the chant, as motorists passing by beeped their horns to the tune.

Fans were jumping up and down, clapping, and some banging on tables as they sang in the street. Between 50,000 and 60,000 supporters are expected to travel by coach, train, plane and boat to the final at the Stade de France.

We will be following their journey and joining them in Paris all weekend and we would love to hear how you are all getting on.
