Thousands of fans dressed in red flooded the streets of Liverpool on Sunday to celebrate their club’s Champions League victory.

Liverpool players, staff and management rode three open-top buses around town. They arrived only hours earlier from Madrid, after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the final Saturday.

Beginning with club captain Jordan Henderson, the players passed around the large European Champion Clubs’ Cup, as it paid its sixth visit to the city.
