Liverpool have been told by UEFA that they will receive only a miserable 12,000 tickets for next month's Europa League final - if the Merseysiders can beat Atletico Madrid.

The Hamburg Arena has a capacity of just over 57,000 but for the final the standing area in the north stand will be converted to seating, reducing the capacity to around 51,500, reports the Daily Mail.

Around 25 per cent of the available tickets will be allocated to each club, with the rest going to German residents and UEFA sponsors.

A club statement read: “From our previous experiences in 2001, 2005 and 2007, we expect demand from our supporters to easily exceed the number of tickets the club are able to supply.

“Regardless of how many games you have attended, only fans who have registered their interest will be eligible to purchase a ticket in the event that the club reaches the final.”

It's criminal that so many tickets for major games go to people other than the supporters of those teams.

Hopefully Fulham do the Germans at the Cottage... that'll feck up UEFA's plan. Germans would be less interested then.

Atletico will almost certainly get past us as with Aguero, Forlan, Reyes, Simao they will score at least once at Anfield, while we have no Torres... and they won't bring anywhere near as close as many fans to the final as we would have.
