The Liverpool squad train in Madrid ahead of the Champions League Final

“My flight from Santorini got cancelled, so I then had to fly from Santorini to Athens, from Athens to Barcelona.“I got to Barcelona at 2am, I had to get a train to Madrid, it was not until 5am, the train station is not open until 4am.From 2am until 4am I was lying on the floor outside the train station with a lot of homeless people before the train station opened.“That’s how committed I was to getting here.” While Barnes was willing to go to the ends of the earth for his side, the former England international could not resist having a cheeky dig at his former Liverpool teammate Ian Rush.“I am not going to mention any names, about other divas who played for Liverpool, my former teammates who would have wanted to be in a five star hotel,” he said.“I slept on the floor of the train station for three hours, that is how much of a fan I am. I am not going to say who wouldn’t have done it… Ian Rush… But apart from that, that is my commitment to the cause.”
