Liverpool set date for trophy parade irrespective of Premier League and Champions League outcomes

Liverpool have announced that a victory parade for the club will take place the day after the Champions League final, irrespective of the result in the UEFA showpiece.

The Reds face Real Madrid in the final in Paris, and head into the final day of the season still able to win the Premier League providing that Manchester City slip up against Aston Villa and they come away with three points against Wolves on the final day of the season.

Should they be able to win both, they will become the first English club to win the Quadruple, adding to their Carabao and FA Cup successes, both on penalties over Chelsea.

It will also elevate them from one of the greatest sides in the history of English football to arguably the greatest side, and all that just two games away.
