A Liverpool fan decided to avoid the cost of travelling by flights to Madrid for the Champions League final and instead bought a £40 car, MySportDab reports.

The Reds face Tottenham at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday night, bidding to win Europe's premier competition for a sixth time.

And one er has taken an alternative route to get to the Spanish capital.

Simon Wilson, a YouTuber known for sneaking into big events such as Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor, decided to buy a ridiculously cheap car rather than take one of the costly flights out to Madrid.

'I was lucky enough to get a ticket in the ballot through my season ticket, but because the ballot wasn't announced until recently, I didn't want to book transport,' he told the Liverpool Echo.

'When I looked online, the transport was so expensive (that) it was ridiculous, the flights were around £800.'

'I rang up my brother, Ben, and asked him how much was the cheapest car we could get.'

The brothers are now making the 22-hour-long drive together with a friend, documenting the journey on Simon's YouTube channel.

However, there are concerns over whether the car will make it, given it has already lost the pipe that cools the engine.

A very ionate and real Liverpool fan

I expect Tottenham to boycott this match by now and save themselves from the calamity thats waiting to befall them Tomorrow at Madrid.

Las Las after the beating you go forget that car for Madrid Trek come back

This man must be an economics
Instead of the flight ticket he bought a car
MAY U GUYS NEVER WALK ALONE

Tottenham will win, because both Liverpool players and their fans already see the team as super favourite to win, this exactly was my Barca's undoing, we all unprofessionally underrated Liverpool especially after the first leg at the Nou Camp.

This is a classic example of "penny wise, pound foolish." If his car breaks down on the way, he would end up missing the game completely. He should either pay the flight ticket albeit very expensive, drive a better car or stay his butt home and watch it on TV. But to go on such a long distance journey in a "beat up" car is insane. In any case, I wish him good luck because he sure is gonna need it.

If na naija now, dem go dey call this guy cheap broke ass.

But I'm sure in England, their YouTube followers go dey praise them now.

Different strokes for different folks indeed.
