Liverpool will wear their 2017/18 home kit against Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

It will be red against white in Kiev as Jurgen Klopp’s side look to secure the club’s sixth European crown.

Liverpool will walk out for Sunday’s final Premier League clash against Brighton at Anfield in the new home kit for the 2018/19 season which was officially released on Friday.

However, they will revert back to this season’s New Balance version for the showpiece occasion against Real Madrid.

Under UEFA rules, clubs have to state at the start of each season which kits they will use in the competition and changes can’t be made.

Liverpool believe it’s only right that they wear the same kit which they have worn en route to the final.

The 2017/18 home shirt was the biggest seller in Liverpool’s history and the club have long since sold out.

As a result there won’t be a special Champions League final edition of the shirt available with only the new home kit now on sale ahead of Kiev.

To mark the end of the club’s 125th anniversary, Liverpool and New Balance have donated 125 shirts and pairs of trainers to local children from Anfield schools involved in the Reds Neighbours community programme.

The youngsters were invited to Anfield for the presentation and walked out on to the pitch for a special commemorative photograph.

Kieran Baillie, a teacher at Florence Melly Community Primary School, said: “We’re extremely grateful to both Liverpool FC and New Balance for these amazing gifts. This is a day that the children will never forget.”5
