Champions League Final In Istanbul

A few months ago, when the final match of the Champions League was decided to be played in Istanbul, noone including me has thought there will be so much rage and enthusiasm in Istanbul Streets. Liverpool fans have arrived Istanbul days before the final and with the clocking ticking down to kick-off, they filled a number of bars in Taksim and belted out their favourite anthems all over Istanbul Streets, while we -Turkish People- gathered to watch, seeming amused at the spectacle.

And after beating AC Milan 3-2 in penalty shootout on Wed Night, thousands of delirious fans were lined the streets to celebrate the victory and partied into the night in Taksim. Although Turkish People were known to be merry and enthusiastic, Liverpool fans were too far to compare with us. Congratulations Liverpool, congratulations for a great game!
