Liverpool fans 'danced in aisles' during RyanAir flight after learning of Man City exit

Liverpool fans were reportedly "dancing in the aisles" after hearing about Real Madrid's dramatic comeback against Manchester City on Wednesday evening.

Real winger Rodrygo scored two last-minute goals to send the Champions League tie into extra-time, where Karim Benzema found a winner. The result means the Spanish giants will face Liverpool in the final, which takes place in Paris on May 28.

Many Reds fans are delighted with the news, as it gives them the opportunity avenge their 3-1 defeat to Real in the Champions League final in Kyiv four years ago. They've also avoided yet another clash with Premier League title rivals City.

And, according to the Liverpool ECHO, Reds fans were dancing on a RyanAir plane when they heard news of Real's win. Many supporters were returning home from Spain after Liverpool's 5-2 aggregate win against Villarreal in the other semi-final on Tuesday.

The fans, on a delayed flight home, were also said to cheering, signing and high-fiving each other. "F*** off lad, are you messing?" said one supporter on hearing the news.

The flight is believed to have took off just after Riyad Mahrez scored to give City a two-goal cushion against the Spanish giants. The news of Real's comeback started filtering through on the plane when some fans managed to pick up a signal.

Rumours of Real's victory were eventually confirmed when the flight landed in Manchester - much to relief of those Liverpool fans. One said: "You play Real Madrid in Champions League finals! You don’t play Manchester City in the biggest game in football."

Another tweeted: "Genuinely no better way to have experienced that City result than being on a delayed flight back from Valencia that took off at 1-0 and finding out in stages
