Liverpool fans dreaming of seeing their side in the flesh lift a sixth European Cup have been dealt a blow with the number of tickets available to them for the Kiev final.
The Reds will meet reigning champions Real Madrid in the Ukrainian capital on May 26 after overcoming Italian outfit Roma 7-6 on aggregate.
The showpiece will be played at the NSC Olimpiyskiy – which UEFA says has a ‘net capacity’ of 63,000 seats despite the arena boasting a capacity up to 70,050.

However, Liverpool fans will be shocked to find out that they have only been allocated 16,626 tickets – with only 63 per cent of those for general supporters.
The most expensive of these tickets are priced at £394 in Category 1 (or £315 with a restricted view).
Category 2 are on sale for £280 (£223 for a restricted view) with Category 3 on sale for £140 (£109 for a restricted view).
Category 4 are the cheapest tickets available and they’re priced at £61 (£48 for a restricted view).
UEFA has also provided a maximum allocation of 200 adult/junior combined tickets, priced at £122 per pair.
These tickets have been issued on a 1:1 ratio basis only, and will be available to purchase on a first come first served basis only, whilst stocks last.
Liverpool fans were in fine voice in Rome but could pay up to £394 to watch their side in Kiev
Liverpool have urged fans who do not have a ticket to not to travel to Kiev – with no direct flights to the Ukrainian capital available from Merseyside or nearby Manchester.
To make matters worse for the Reds faithful, it has emerged that hotels are hardly available in Kiev.
One price comparison website only has three within a 30-mile radius of the Ukrainian capital.
And to stay just for one night at these hotels it will cost you upwards of four figures. The cheapest hotel starts at £1,473 with the other two increasing in price at £8,851 and a staggering £10,901.
