All-in Basel invitation was a mistake, concedes Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool 2 Watford 0: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has rescinded his invitation for all fans to travel to Basel for the Europa League final after admitting it was “not too smart”.

On Friday at his press conference the German said “it is even worth going there without having a ticket for the game to be around the stadium”.

Liverpool have been allocated just 10,236 tickets for the 35,000-capacity St Jakob Park and, though there is a possibility of obtaining extra if defending champions Sevilla do not sell out — plus securing some of the 9,000 which went on general sale — tens of thousands are planning to travel.
