Liverpool parade LIVE: Follow the victory celebration as Jurgen Klopp and Co show off Champions League trophy

Liverpool will hold a homecoming parade this afternoon after beating Tottenham in the Champions League Final.

The Reds' excellent season came to an unforgettable conclusion as Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi fired Jurgen Klopp's men to Europan glory on Saturday night.

Thousands descended on Madrid for a legacy-defining encounter at the end of a scarcely-believable continental campaign, with both sides narrowly making it through the group stage and then completing jaw-dropping semi-final wins.

But only one could emerge triumphant at the Wanda Metropolitano and Liverpool would be crowned champions of Europe for a sixth time as Salah's early spot-kick was followed by a strike from semi-final hero Origi in a 2-0 win.

Liverpool City Council confirmed before the final that a parade would begin at 4pm BST on the day after the final.

When is Liverpool's title parade?

Liverpool will be embarking upon their Champions League homecoming parade on Sunday June 2, giving supporters the chance to bask in that Madrid win.

The event begins at 4pm BST, starting at Allerton Maze in the south of the city.

What is the route?

From Allerton Maze, the parade will snake up Queens Drive before turning onto West Derby Road toward the city centre, with plans to finish up on Blundell Street.

With Liverpool already hosting the Bordeaux Wine Festival and River Festival today, a potential parade threw up a number of logistical challenges.
