ONE Manchester City fan travelled to Paris for the Champions League final… despite his team NOT being there.

City fan Andy booked his ferry and hotel to the French capital before the end of the semi-final second-leg against Real Madrid.

At the time City were 5-3 up against and cruising to a second consecutive Champions League final.

So Andy booked his travel and hotel – only for Rodrygo to score in the 90th and 91st minute, before Karim Benzema netted in extra-time to break City hearts.

But Andy still decided to make the journey over to France to soak up the atmosphere.

He and thousands of Liverpool fans descended on Paris ahead of tonight’s Champions League final against Real Madrid.

Andy told Sky Sports: “[In the] 89th minute, [I] clicked the button on my phone, ferry booked, hotel booked.

“I text my boss saying ‘see you in Paris,’ he’s a Liverpool fan. 25 minutes later the reply text said ‘what for?’

“But the atmosphere is buzzing it’s absolutely amazing.”

He was then quizzed as to why he came over despite City not being there, with Pep Guardiola’s stars already off on their holidays.

And he replied: “Well I bought the ferry, it cost me £80 to change the booking!

“So three of us have come over, two Liverpool fans and me just to have the crack.

“It’s been exceptional, such a good atmosphere it’s amazing.”

Fans gathered around the city singing songs as Jurgen Klopp’s side bid to win a SEVENTH European Cup tonight.

Standing in their way are 13-time winners Real Madrid, who named their starting line up for the match more than two hours early amid fears of a “dressing room mole”.
