Following a football club around the globe is an expensive hobby, and Liverpool fans will certainly be thinking that this week as they make plans for a trip to Italy.

On May 2, the club's travelling supporters will flock to the Stadio Olimpico for a crucial Champions League semi-final tie against Roma.

The atmosphere will either be jovial, tense or miserable depending on the outcome of the first leg at Anfield, which will be staged next Tuesday.

In order for a fan to grab a seat at the Italian ground, they will have to pay £73 each, according to Liverpool Echo journalist James Pearce.

The hike in price compared to the group fixture against Chelsea has been met with some frustration from fans, but many think that the increase is down to the fact that the May clash is a semi-final.

Others opted to poke fun at the situation by claiming that Roma have made the tickets more expensive because Liverpool swiped their star player Mohamed Salah last summer for a reported £35m fee.

Liverpool fans, who are keen for the club to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele this summer, have a reason to be optimistic heading into the semi-final due to the fact that they are the only team in the competition that have not suffered a defeat.

The Reds overcame Manchester City 5-1 in the quarter-finals to reach the last four.
