Champions League final: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hilariously mobbed by fans - WATCH

Liverpool fans are gathering in Kiev in the hope of catching a glimpse of history when the Reds take on Real Madrid in the Champions League this evening.

Numerous videos have already been circulating on social media of Liverpool fans breaking into song everywhere and anywhere.

The support for Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Champions League has been hair-raising at times.

The players who will be selected for the matchday squad have the chance to write their names into Anfield folklore.

But there are some players unable to take part who would otherwise be one of the first names on the team-sheet.

Oxlade-Chamberlain picked up a season-ending injury in the first leg against Roma and is heading out to Kiev with the other injured Liverpool players.

And speaking on Liverpool’s official Instagram account, the England international has opened up on how it feels to be missing the Champions League final.

“Obviously I’m absolutely devastated not to be involved in such a big game but at the same time really excited for the boys and for the club in what could be a very special day,” he said.

As Oxlade-Chamberlain got ready to fly out to Ukraine to join up with his team-mates, he rode past a group of Liverpool fans also making their way out to Eastern Europe.

And the Liverpool supporters were clearly overjoyed to see the midfielder as they raced to the shuttle bus windows cheering.

“It’s fair to say Liverpool fans are ready, we’re ready… we’ll see you in Kiev,” Oxlade-Chamberlain said.
