Liverpool touch down in Istanbul
Liverpool players board the plane for Istanbul
Liverpool's players have arrived in Istanbul, where they face AC Milan in Wednesday's Champions League final.

The Reds took off from John Lennon Airport with a full-strength squad.

Favourites AC Milan have won the tournament six times - most recently in 2003 - while the Reds are in the final for the first time in 20 years.

But four-times winners Liverpool saw off newly-crowned Italian champions Juventus and Premiership title winners Chelsea to book their place in Turkey.

And Rafael Benitez's men will also take heart from the fact that Milan were outplayed for long spells by PSV Eindhoven in their semi-final.
