Liverpool's supporters burst into cheers at Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano Stadium after the Spurs' 2-0 win over the Spurs on Saturday, which gave the team its sixth European Cup.

"Unbelievable, I can not believe we did it again. What club. What fan base. Which team. That's what we all areSaid 32-year-old Craig Williams, who came from Liverpool to Madrid for the match.

"We came back from the disappointments of last year … we came to Madrid this year and we won it. Yes! Come on!".

A year ago, Liverpool lost the Champions League final 3-1 to Real Madrid in Kiev after Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah was forced to leave injured and in tears.

This time, Salah gave Liverpool the right start by converting a penalty kick to open the scoring in the second minute.

"It's amazing, in one minute, two minutes and there is a penalty, and it changes the whole game, "said Diego Martinez, a 41-year-old lawyer and Tottenham fan who came to Mexico City to watch the match.

"This penalty changes the game and the tactic may be that of the team," he added to the stadium, as jubilant Liverpool supporters gathered around him.

Some fans have brandished six characters or chanted "Six times! Six times! Six times!"as they left the stadium.

Others raised red and white scarves over their heads or chanted "Champions!" as they were heading from the stadium to the nearby subway stations.

Mohamed Elneanaey, 28, from Egypt for the match and strikingly resembling the Liverpool Salah, was invaded by supporters from outside the stadium who wanted to pose for himself.

"We're celebrating now, it's great, it's going to be amazing, we're celebrating here with guys, and then we will go out on the streets to celebrate, "he said as the people around him shouted jokingly" Salah! Salah ".

Paul Jordan, a 33-year-old store manager, who had traveled to the Spanish capital from Liverpool via Prague because of the impossibility of getting a direct flight, said that He planned to celebrate the victory with his friends "until Monday here in Madrid".

"It's an incredible feeling," he added.

Authorities estimate that about 32,000 spectators from both teams, ticket holders, attended the match at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium, with a capacity of 68,000 spectators.

Hundreds of additional flights to the Spanish capital have been added and the Madrid Hotel Association estimates that a total of 70,000 English fans will spend the weekend in the city because of the match.
