BBC Sport at Anfield
I've covered a fair few Liverpool games as Anfield but this is the busiest I've seen it with the streets all around the ground a sea of red.
The usually relatively straightforward walk to collect my media pass was a bit more tricky this time with thousands crowded to see the team bus arrive, and when the champions did appear it prompted lots of red flares and chants of "Championis".
An incredible atmosphere already.
