Ian Rush's holiday home in Portugal burgled while he watched Liverpool win UCL

Ian Rush had his holiday home in Portugal burgled while he watched his former side win the Champions League in Madrid last weekend.

The Liverpool legend's holiday home in the Algarve was burgled on Saturday night while he got down to his UEFA ambassador duties in Spain during the eagerly-anticipated European showdown.

However, the 57-year-old didn't appear to be too downbeat after discovering the news about the break in.

The former Liverpool striker told the Liverpool Echo: 'It still didn't dampen my spirits as I'm still celebrating that fantastic win!'

Rush, who became a UEFA ambassador in 2017 for the first time, took up the role again for the European final.

He added: 'It was an absolute honour to hand the trophy to Liverpool, who more than deserved the trophy!
