Liverpool's potential Champions League Victory parade route revealed

It's been confirmed a victory parade will take place through Liverpool city centre the day after the Champions League final if the Reds beat Real Madrid.

The club have requested that if they are successful in Kiev, a parade should take place on Sunday 27th May - the day after the final.

It would start around midday on the Sunday, with an open topped bus travelling down streets including The Strand and Islington, before ending near the Olympia on West Derby Road

Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said: : “Regardless of whether you are a Red, Blue or not a football fan at all, an event like this has a hugely positive impact and will once again shine the international spotlight on the city."

"“We are all tremendously proud of LFC’s achievement and you can already feel the buzz around the city ahead of the final.

“The club requested the parade takes place on the Sunday, and even though it’s already a busy day for the city, we want to make sure we are ready to give them the heroes’ welcome they deserve should they win."

“I understand there will be disappointment for those fans who are unable to get back from Kiev in time, but it was a similar situation in 2005 and we have to be guided by the club in terms of the date and time."

“We are working closely with LFC, Merseyside Police and our travel partners to ensure that the event runs smoothly and safely for everyone to enjoy.

“We’re keeping everything crossed for the final and hope the team and the fans do Liverpool proud in Kiev as they have throughout the competition.
