Liverpool take on Real Madrid in their first Champions League final since 2007 and they are looking to take home the trophy for the first time since historic win in 2005.

Reds fans have travelled in their thousands to watch Jurgen Klopp’s men fight for the European title.

And Kop hero Gerrard was met by hoards of excited supporters ahead of his fight to Kiev earlier today.

Fans were filmed kissing the BT Sport pundit as he posed for selfies with fans before being ushered away to catch his flight to Ukraine's capital.

Gerrard posted the clip on his Instagram with the caption: "John Lennon airport with the lads," followed by a laughing and kissing emoji.

The former midfielder – who will be embarking on his first managerial job of his career with Rangers this summer – will be hoping Liverpool can stop Real Madrid from lifting the Champions League trophy for a third successive season.

And after their disappointing defeat to Seville in the Europa League final in 2016, captain Jordan Henderson insists the side have moved on and believes it’s in the club’s DNA to take home trophies.

“We have learned from that experience [in Seville] and we can use that as motivation,” he said.

“It is in Liverpool’s DNA to win trophies.

“It is important for the fans that we are going in the right direction.”
