On Tuesday we had the first outing of the Monaco branch of the Liverpool Supporters Club.

Seven of us had obtained tickets through the Club for the Fiorentina V Liverpool Champions League game in Florence. We left Monaco at midday and arrived in Florence at around 4-30.

We picked up the tickets at the team hotel and headed into town for some sightseeing.

By then we were very thirsty and managed to find a café right in one of the main squares that seemed very happy to let us in. When we got the bill half an hour and three beers later we found out why! € 8.50 for half a lager, we thought it was bad in Monaco!

Off to the ground where we had a great welcome from the Fiorentina fans and staff with free pasta and water outside the ground and banners inside.

Unfortunately Liverpool played like schoolboys in the first half and gave away 2 goals to go in 2-0 down at half time. They were better (but not great) in the second half but failed to put the ball in the back in the net and ended the game losing 2-0.

We bumped into the Paris supporters as we were leaving the game as they were taking some photos.

Not the greatest result for our first away trip but everyone enjoyed the day out and showed interest in going to the game in Lyon at the beginning of December.
