A Liverpool fan has broken down in tears after his son Sean Quinn flew from Australia to Kiev, Ukraine, for this Saturday’s Champions League final between Liverpool and Madrid.
Several flights to the Ukranian capital have been cancelled this week after Borispil Airport had been unable to allocate times for planes to land in Kiev.
Quinn ran into no such issues and surprised his father as they were preparing to take a photo. He clearly wasn’t expecting his arrival.

Liverpool said in a statement that they were continuing to work with with relevant stakeholders to try and arrange some alternative travel arrangements with over 1,000 fans missing their flights.
“Liverpool Football Club is continuing to work with all of the relevant stakeholders in the UK and Ukraine in an attempt to resolve a situation which has left around 1,000 fans without flights to Kiev for the Champions League final,” a statement read.
“Flights chartered by World Choice Sports had been set to take supporters to Ukraine, but a dispute between the Widnes-based travel company and the aviation authorities in Kiev over the size of the aircraft has led to the trips being cancelled.
“Along with officials from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Liverpool City Council, UEFA and the authorities in Kiev, Liverpool FC has been endeavouring to resolve the issue since it first came to light and will continue to do so until all avenues have been exhausted.”
