This Saturday, Liverpool got their hands on the FA Cup trophy after 16 years. Their eighth win in the tournament’s 150-year history, The Reds beat Chelsea in penalties following a nil-nil draw, leaving Wembley Stadium with a 6 – 5 victory after left-back Kostas Tsimikas, who was on the bench for the match, scored the winning goal.
Us Brits love the footie. And we bloody love a drink, too. So to mark the special occasion, we trotted down to Wembley to catch the fans on their way to the match and ask one all-important question: what’s wetting your whistle today?
Cheers to Liverpool, Jürgen Klopp and co. It’s a difficult subject for some of us, what with THE FACE team divided between Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City. But we’re no sore losers. Any excuse for a pint, eh?
