Manager Juergen Klopp believes Liverpool could sell 30 million tickets for their Europa League final in Basle so there is little point in worrying about their slim allocation for St Jakob Park.

The club have been given just 10,236 tickets in a stadium with a capacity of 35,000 for the final against defending champions Sevilla.

About 8,000 additional tickets went on general sale, with the remainder allocated to the local organising committee, national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters and the corporate hospitality programme.

Klopp brushed aside growing complaints among fans about how small Liverpool’s share is by urging fans to go to Basle to enjoy themselves later this month.

He said: “I think if you say, ‘Who wants to go there?’, you will find 30 million people who want to see the game so we have no chance to bring all of them into the stadium.

“It is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to play this final but we cannot change the stadium so we cannot think about this. I have been to Basle, it is a wonderful stadium and a wonderful city.

“It is even worth going there without having a ticket for the game to be around the stadium and enjoy yourself and enjoy life as a Liverpool supporter, and that is what we should do and not worry or think about the size of the stadium or tickets you can get.”
