On the other side of the Atlantic, a man particularly appreciated the victory (3-2) against Villarreal and Liverpool's qualification for the Champions League final.
On Tuesday night, on the heels of the Reds' success in Spain, LeBron James got excited on Twitter.
The American basketball player published in capital letters the sentence “Paris, we are coming!
“, a reference to the final match of the competition which will be played at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on May 28.
The four-time NBA champion also posted a photo of him, all smiles, wearing a tracksuit from the English club, to illustrate his "mood" of the moment.
He then retweeted several posts from the official account of the first known finalists of this C1 before the second semi-final return between Real Madrid and Manchester City on Wednesday evening (9 p.m.).
PARIS HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!

A not entirely disinterested passion for Liverpool.
The 37-year-old is a minority shareholder in the British club.
While he already owned 2% of the capital, he increased his stake a year ago without knowing the extent of his investment in the American group Fenway Sports (FSG), owner of the Reds.
His other investments with FSG include shares in the Boston Red Sox baseball club (MLB), a sports management company, a regional sports cable network and Roush Fenway Racing, a Nascar team, the popular stock car championship.
Will he be present at the Stade de France to attend the tenth Champions League final in Liverpool history?
LeBron James will in any case be on vacation on May 28, since his Los Angeles Lakers franchise is not playing in the NBA play-offs after a very disappointing regular season during which he was regularly injured.
