Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry has expressed security concerns should the Champions League final be an all-English affair.
Manchester United will set up just such a scenario if they manage to overcome AC Milan in the second leg of their semi-final tonight.
'There will be concerns from a security point of view if it's two English teams, sadly,' Parry told BBC Radio Five Live the morning after his side booked their place in the Athens showpiece.
'There will be issues we'll have to address. There will be a lot of supporters from both teams travelling without tickets, which the authorities will have to deal with.
'A lot of careful thought and planning would definitely be required.'
Parry also taunted Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho following last night's dramatic penalty shootout win at Anfield. Mourinho was reported to have described Liverpool as a small club and a cup team before the game.
'I don't care what he says, I don't listen,' Parry said. 'I guess when you've invested £500million, it's a fantastic season to win the League Cup. He's welcome to his opinions, we care about Liverpool.'
Parry described the atmosphere at last night's game as the equal of any he has witnessed at Anfield, including the 2005 semi-final against the same opponents.
'It was another fabulous Anfield night,' he said. 'I thought we'd never see anything to beat the atmosphere in 2005, but I think this equalled it.
'It was very, very special and I think you only get these nights in Anfield.
'The supporters were fantastic and the players and manager have done a fantastic job and done us proud. It was magnificent to be there.'
But Parry admitted that despite the club reaching their second Champions League final in three years, the club's ultimate ambition was to win the Barclays Premiership title.
'For us, the big prize is the Premier League, we've made no secret of that,' said Parry, whose side have not been league champions since 1990.
'Every one of us wants to be a Premier League contender. We're not quite there, but we'll do everything in our power to make sure we get there.'
