Liverpool general manager Peter Moore raises issue of ticketing

Liverpool general manager Peter Moore will pose the issue of awarding tickets to UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin at the meeting for the Champions League final in Madrid next week.

Reaching a second consecutive final resulted in more Reds fans complaining about the number of tickets available to each team – only 16,613 for the Tottenham match at Wanda Metropolitano, with a capacity of 64,000 on June 1st.

Although little can be done to improve the situation this year, Moore will talk to Ceferin about the issue and other logistical issues.

"I'll see it and usually, when I see Alek, there are 20 things to discuss," said Moore, speaking at the launch of Anfield's global partnership between the foundation's CFL and Right To Play.

& # 39; These are all things that you think: what do we do for allowances, what do we do for that? All the normal stuff. It's a long list.

"We talk every day with UEFA. We have been talking to UEFA for 40 years, as you know so well for this sort of thing.

"But we want UEFA to understand this city, what it understands. Ceferin was here last year for the Manchester City home game (Champions League) and I spent a lot of time with him. I'll see him next week.

"Today, our football club aims to help our fans all over the world. The goal was to have the M & S Bank Arena (where you can watch the final on the big screen) finished and sorted, as it did today.

"We then prepare our fan park in Madrid. Our team is on hand to help the fans.

"The good news is that we are going to a Champions League final, but there is a lot of work to be done to make it work."

The founding of LFC and Right to Play, a global organization that protects, educates and empowers children and youth by harnessing the power of sport and gaming, hopes to raise a million pounds for projects in Bangkok and Liverpool. .

Moore believes that the club's power of attraction, manager Jurgen Klopp and its resurgence over the past two years can help reinforce the message.

"How do we use the power of the football club for good?" he added.

"The success on the field helps tremendously, it provides a global spotlight. What we are about to do next week amplifies it further.

& # 39; What have we won? And yet, this brand, this football club, these players – I do not like to use the word "powerful" – but it is more loved than ever.

"Our players – and our manager – understand what it means to play for Liverpool Football Club.

"We like that when they score goals and when they stop goals, but there is more responsibility when you play for Liverpool.

When you live in this city, you realize what fans give you and what you have to give back.

"Jurgen sees the magnitude of what he's doing as Liverpool's manager, Shankly has already stated:" Liverpool was made for me and I was made for Liverpool "and I would say that Jurgen is the same. "
