“Weird”: Gary Lineker’s admission before Liverpool’s draw to Real Madrid | OneFootball

Before Liverpool faced Real Madrid at Anfield last night, pundit Gary Lineker made an admission.

Lineker posted on his Instagram story that it is “so weird” to be attending a Champions League match without the Anfield faithful inside the stadium.

The Champions League quarter-final clash finished in a 0-0 draw. However, Real Madrid progressed to the semi-finals 3-1 on aggregate.

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

Due to the pandemic, fans are not allowed inside Premier League stadiums.

Anfield has not been full since Liverpool faced Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last season. The aforementioned clash took place in March 2020.

We have found football to be quite dull without the fans inside the stadium. We believe that the players would be missing the supporters.

There would be no better feeling that celebrating a goal with your supporters. If the pandemic has taught us anything, the game is nothing without the fans.

With that being the case, hopefully we see the fans return to the stadiums sometime next season.
