Champions League Final: Liverpool Fan Buys £40 Car To Travel For Madrid (Photos)
A Liverpool fan decided to avoid the cost of travelling by flights to Madrid for the Champions League final and instead bought a £40 car, MySportDab reports.
The Reds face Tottenham at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday night, bidding to win Europe’s premier competition for a sixth time.
And one supporter has taken an alternative route to get to the Spanish capital.
Simon Wilson, a YouTuber known for sneaking into big events such as Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor, decided to buy a ridiculously cheap car rather than take one of the costly flights out to Madrid.
‘I was lucky enough to get a ticket in the ballot through my season ticket, but because the ballot wasn’t announced until recently, I didn’t want to book transport,’ he told the Liverpool Echo.
‘When I looked online, the transport was so expensive (that) it was ridiculous, the flights were around £800.’
‘I rang up my brother, Ben, and asked him how much was the cheapest car we could get.’
The brothers are now making the 22-hour-long drive together with a friend, documenting the journey on Simon’s YouTube channel.
However, there are concerns over whether the car will make it, given it has already lost the pipe that cools the engine.
