UEFA Champions League Final: Liverpool fans take a speedboat after flight cancellation

According to a report by Liverpool Echo, Thirteen Liverpool fans have used a speedboat in a desperate bid to get to France for the Liverpool vs Real Madrid UEFA Champions League final. Ahead of the UCL Final Liverpool fans had been turned away from John Lennon Airport after expecting to board a 4 am flight.

As per the report two of the fans, Adam and Tom Dring, flew to Heathrow to try to get another flight but they were unsuccessful, so decided to team up with family friend Paddy O'Toole who lives in Jersey. The group managed to charter a speedboat to cross from Jersey to Saint-Malo - where they continued their journey towards Paris. A video was shared by O'Toole on his Twitter account shows the group speeding across the Channel in a Redbay Stormforce 950.
