Jurgen Klopp has told Liverpool fans to flock to Paris for the Champions League final regardless of whether they have a ticket - even though the club's official guidance tells ticketless fans not to travel.
Liverpool have booked a showdown with Real Madrid for May 28 in the French capital but they have been allocated less than 20,000 tickets in the 81,000 capacity Stade de France.
Liverpool's website tells fans without a ticket not to head to France. The cheapest ticket going is £50, the most expensive is £578 and fans can even pay £461 for one with a restricted view.
But speaking on Friday at his press conference before Saturday's game with Tottenham, Klopp - seemingly unaware of the club's stance - told Liverpool fans head over en masse.
'It's the only bad thing about the journey. It's massive, what they ask for,' Klopp said about the lack of tickets and the prices. 'I really hope they all can make it somehow and create - of course they will - an incredible atmosphere. It's nice.
'So if you don't get a ticket - I don't want to invite people to Paris but this time it is big enough. I did last time for Basel (the 2016 Europa League final) and the whole of Switzerland was like this (face palms) but I think Paris is big enough to go there without a ticket and have a good time. Behave yourself but be in the best possible mood.
'If you cannot go there, enjoy it here in any kind of surrounding. what I love about this game is that the world will be red or white. Everybody will be either or and it makes it a proper final.'

Better to watch on tv as the views will be much better compared to what people see from the stadium
