Lucas Moura texted Liverpool players for CL final tickets

Lucas Moura has been so desperate for extra tickets to the UEFA Champions League final that he was texting Liverpool players ahead of the game!

Moura is expected to be in the starting lineup for Tottenham as they take their place in the showpiece event for the first time.

But he revealed that he has been in touch with the likes of Alisson Becker, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino to ask about the possibility of acquiring extra tickets for friends and family.

"I said congratulations to the Liverpool Brazilian guys as for our country to have four players in the final is good for us," Moura told the Daily Mail.

"I have a relationship with Alisson and Fabinho at Liverpool. I am happy for them. They are very good players.

"But I have been texting them because I need tickets for the final!

"I need a lot of tickets as I want to bring all my family and friends from Brazil and all the people important in my career.

"I need 40 tickets and I have only 24. But at Liverpool they have the same allocation as us so they couldn't help me."
