This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello everybody and welcome to a very special Blood Red podcast here live from France well it's

recorded obviously we're live and if you wonder what that noise is we are

staying right near Charles de Gaulle Airport so you'll be hearing the odd

playing going overhead while I'm trying to

chun around and talk my normal brand of nonsense and joining me for more nonsense it's

a full-time Liverpool correspondent both home and I'm Paul Ghost I Paul.

Hello Ian. How you doing? Yeah very well well. This was probably one of the least arduous trips that we've out this season in terms of European ways.

We hopped on the Euro-starred me and came out to Paris and before we knew it over here in Gaperree.

So yeah, let's cross on.

It did have its downs because we were joined of course by the oath,

the other squires.

I don't really mean that for you.

How are you doing?

I'm good.

I'm subbing back in for Jamie Carrigger I I think I've only

scored like five six less goals for Liverpool than him so it's not too much

between us wow he's we haven't even started it's got too much

but I don't know exactly here what's he like anyway we're here because of course Liverpool are in the Champions League final.

They will be playing Real Madrid, that's in a couple of days time.

It's a bit difficult for us to actually gauge any kind of atmosphere in the actual city itself

because we're just as we said before it's just a little bit outside it but on the Eurostar
