The two Champions League finalists have confirmed should they win the competition on June 1st, they will have a victory parade the following day
Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed its plan to have an open-top bus victory parade on June 2nd should they defeat Liverpool in the Champions League final on June 1st.
While the announcement will receive jest from rival supporters, it is standard procedure with the Reds doing similar earlier this month.
Jurgen Klopp's team had to put a plan in place should they clinch the Premier League title and at the same time confirmed what would happen for a victory parade should they win the Champions League.
A Culture Liverpool statement read: "The City of Liverpool will formally invite the club to hold a victory parade. A parade for a Champions League final victory would take place on Sunday 2 June."
Spurs have now joined their fellow finalists in producing a plan of what could happen if Mauricio Pochettino's team win the European Cup next month.
"The club is now able to confirm its plans for an open-top bus victory parade on Sunday 2 June if we are successful in the previous night's UEFA Champions League Final against Liverpool in Madrid," a statement read.
