Rivalry was put aside by a Tottenham fan in Madrid as he reunited a Liverpool fan with his lost wallet containing £700 and a letter from his late wife.

The Liverpool supporter lost his wallet in the build-up to the Champions League final, containing a priceless letter written by his late wife shortly before her death in January as well as cash, credit cards and a driving license.

The item was found by Spurs supporter Alan Bissell, 42, who called up the Reds fan and reunited him with the item in a bar shortly before kick-off.

The pair shared an emotional embrace and the Liverpool fan paid for a round of drinks and offered to donate £500 to charity as a thank you.

Bissell shared the heart-warming tale on Facebook after returning from seeing his side lose 2-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano.

He wrote: “I found a wallet in the cab to the ground, it had €800 in it, but it also had the fellas details in it. I phoned him up and he started crying.

“He lost it the night before the game, it had his driving license in it with all of his other cards, but most of all a letter written to him from his wife just before she died in January.

“I told him where we was and, him and two mates walking into the bar wearing their Liverpool shirts and gave me the biggest cuddle ever and brought everyone in the bar a beer.

“He text me after the game and said he’s sorry for Liverpool beating us and said he wants to donate £500 to a charity of my choice.

“‘Help for Heroes’ will be getting some money Monday.”

There was double celebration for the Liverpool fan in question as he was reunited with his lost wallet and saw his side win their sixth European cup.

The city celebrated with a huge victory parade on Sunday, with around 750,000 fans flocking to the city to welcome home their Champions League heroes.
