Seats occupied by spectators without tickets
For Klopp, the example of those close to him illustrates exactly what so many others have experienced and suffered tonight in the Champions League. ” What happened to them is roughly what happened to everyone else. Then there were all the problems inside. People who sat in seats that weren’t theirs. There wasn’t a single Liverpool fan in the wrong place. There were plenty of seats taken by people without tickets, but they weren’t Liverpool fans. […] Of the fifty people I know who were in the stadium, forty-seven told me exactly the same thing. »
