Summary

With the Champions League final just one week away, and what with it being May 25th, the date on which Liverpool won their first and fifth European Cups, your latest Allez Les Rouges podcast is a Euro special. Host Peter Hooton is joined by regulars, and veterans of many a successful European campaign, Ste Monaghan, John Nicolson and Kieth Culvin. But, before they preview the club's ninth European Cup final, they look back at some of their best memories of following the Reds around the continent, including their first final, their best opposition teams and players, and the best atmosphere. Talk then shifts to the massive match with Tottenham Hotspur, the three-week gap since the Premier League finale, Jurgen Klopp's midfield line-up, superstitions, as well as a heated debate on UEFA and their decision to allocate the Reds and Spurs just 16,000 tickets each - a significant number of which haven't gone to supporters who really should be in the Wanda Metropolitano.
