ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3



Sickening the lengths the BBC will go to in order to praise them:

Real's travel arrangements leave questions​

Real Madrid may have beaten Liverpool 1-0 at the Bernabeu last night to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but there was a different result in which the Spanish side faired much worse.
Real Madrid 410 Liverpool 149.
Instead of goals, it is potential seats on the aircraft each team used to travel to the away leg. Liverpool used a Boeing 737 and Real Madrid an Airbus A359.
The size of the plane corresponds directly to the amount of fuel burned and, therefore, the CO2e generated (the combination of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change). The emissions generated per passenger on a flight from Madrid to London are around 143kgs, double for the return trip.
BBC Sport asked Real Madrid about the decision to take such a large plane and how many of those seats were empty but have as yet received no response.
Andrew Simms of campaign group Rapid Transition Alliance told BBC Sport: “If Real Madrid did have all these empty seats it would confirm people’s fears that some elite football clubs and players live in a different world, and are flying above everyone else’s concerns about protecting a liveable climate.“
Iberia Airlines the club travel partner was also contacted by the BBC and offered no information about the number of passengers on the airline but they did point to the efficiency of their modern engines and build.

Dunno, that sounds like a pretty fine margin to me.

What about all their fans that flew to Paris without tickets last year, how many air miles did they clock up between them?

Michael Owen's trippy musings:

Speaking on BT Sport, he said: "Liverpool's strength is that group of players who have been to the trenches and won together.

"That takes years of building. Why is everyone talking about a refresh?

"I think Liverpool have got enough. Looking through their starting XI, there's nobody out there better than their goalkeeper. Their right-back is unbelievable, the left-back too, Virgil van Dijk is probably the best in the world when he is on form. Ibrahima Konate is brilliant. The front five are brilliant."

That's great, thanks Michael.

He also said that Liverpool haven't got money but they will buy Bellingham in the summer.
