Apart from a dickhead Spanish guy in the Lower Kenny with a Man U cap on causing trouble, it was an ok to good atmosphere.

It was not like any of the previous Semi finals where it was a feral atmosphere. But it wasn't really a game where the players needed the crowd to drive the way of playing. It was more of an encouraging atmosphere.

This was definitely the game where most regulars sold their tickets on to have money for the finals ahead.

Oddly seems to be a lot of songs splitting between two sides of the stadium this year.

Singing in the kenny concourse before and after the game. Class

Looking over at the kenny, loads were well up for it. The scarfs at one point looked great. The lower main is the worst part of the ground to sit in for singing and general support now.

Good in the 100s but there’s been so much better over the last few years. Very few games match the early Klopp era now when we weren’t used to so much success. The players didn’t really need our support too much tonight but we still need to give it for the full 90mins

was decent, of course we've had better. we played great but Villarreal's gameplan in the first half worked pretty well to be fair to them and probably added to the up-and-down atmosphere we had.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm absolutely exhausted. If anyone ever asks 'why's it not always like that' this is why. I'd be fucking dead by October most seasons.
3 midfielders minimum in the next window. And probably another young CB to boot.

Anything else is negligent.

Was it all standing in the Kenny (lower anyway) - looked it from the Kop.

I sit in the upper Kenny and the concourse singing beforehand was brilliant and just after we scored our 2nd everyone was up on their feet with scarves - best atmosphere up there since last week vs Utd!!!!

Yes. First time for a CL game this season where everyone stood all game.

Stewards tried their best to get people to sit. But gave up and just spent their time keeping the steps clear

If im in the wrong place feel free to move this.

Im not really sure where to put this but I have an Idea for a new song chant to the tune of "Ca Plane Pour Moi" by Plastic Bertrand. (Final in Paris)

Ive been thinking about it since before the Bayern game and Ive been humming it to myself since and its hyping me up for the final.  :D

Its just around the chorus (0:44 in the embeded vid)

"Sept times pour moi" (Artistic license but "7 times for me" with the Salah part thrown in for his revenge vs Real)

Sept Times Pour Moi
Sept Times Pour Moi
Sept Times Pour Moi, Moi, Moi, Moi, Moi
Sept Times Pour Moi

(And Mo Salah) *During the Hou-hou-oou-oou!*
Sept Times Pour Moi

The atmosphere should be red hot tonight.

Two massive finals on the horizon, the league still to fight for. This is 1977 territory. If the Kop reaches those levels it will be unforgettable for anyone lucky enough to there. And Liverpool will win.

Here’s hoping Yorky. In the Kop bar now and it’s rammed, everywhere seems a bit fuller earlier than normal. Hope everyone isn’t gassed by the time kick off arrives!

That's more like it. Best atmosphere for 3 years in my opinion. Responded well to going a goal down and got a huge point. A point we wouldn't have got away from home.

Maybe it was the BT mics, but it sounded dreadful. They must've muted the ones near our fans, as at times it sounded like a prayer meeting.

Maybe it was just me. Can only comment on 305 and people felt really up for it throughout- more so than usual. Atmosphere did not die down around me when we conceded (usually does even in the 300s) and then once we equalised it obviously really went up. Screaming at every corner and booing Spurs any time they went on the ball. Reminded of me of pre covid with the fighting back attitude not being able to afford to drop a single point.

Atmosphere was great, amount of people leaving in the main stand around 85 minutes was fucking mental through. Sell your ticket if you're doing that imo.

Just got a message from my mate who was using my tickets. Think he was in 206, can't be arsed to check. He said the place was rocking.
Really thought for the enormity of the game it was poor, but I guess we're at the liberty of the broadcasters unless we're there.

Really starting to become a fan of that idea someone mentioned about having to tap in your fan card but also tap OUT when you leave like TFL, If you don't tap out your credit doesn't count and if you leave early your credit doesn't count

Would have thought that the first home game after winning a Champions League semi-final, and with the league on the line, that the atmosphere would be a little bit better.

In general it's just not been very good this year. Even in Europe I'm surprised how lacklustre the atmosphere's have been. Benfica was alright recently and so was Villarreal but nothing special given the occasions. Think some people, myself probably included, have just come to expect success on the pitch which must have had some effect on things. I don't think last night's atmosphere was good until we went behind, and thought it was pretty poor in the derby.

Has to be better next season and going forward. Really thought this season we'd get some great atmospheres given how Covid kept the stadiums closed for so long but it just hasn't happened, which has surprised me.

So many people leaving early when we needed the 12th man to grab then winner. WTF, I wonder how many of those people are these credit hunters who pick and choose their games and think they’re more deserving to have tickets over people who have less credits. I hope to never see any of them again at the club, but I know that won’t happen.

Early darts, particularly from the Kemlyn/SKD Stand, have always been a feature but it was usually confined to the last 5 minutes. Unfortunatley today we have a lot of tick box 'fans' who regard going to Anfield as an end in itself and the support/atmosphere is part of the package. Price of fame and commercialism I guess. Given some of the toursits who sit near me in the Main Stand it is not confined to any particular part of the ground.

Both the team and the fans were recovering from last season though, it’s picked up in the last few games but has equally become as tense. Win the European cup again and I’ll expect next season it’ll be like 19/20 where we know we must not drop any points so will be up for it more.

The numbers leaving early was a joke. Second last home game of the season. Title on a knife edge and we desperately needed a goal. Sends the absolute wrong message to our players and theirs.

Wasn't "tourists" around us in Upper Annie. Loads of local young men on Saturday who basically cried non-stop once we went behind and left early/on time without doing anything to try to support the boys in red. Also quite a few non-Liverpool fans who had been given a spare ticket round about us. Better up there when it was the family section!
