What was supposed to be a day of joy and celebration for the city quickly turned to fear and concern after a car drove into a crowd of fans, leaving dozens injured.
Pimblett, who was at the parade with his children, took to Instagram to express his disbelief and sorrow over the incident, which sent shockwaves through the city and the wider football community.

Paddy Pimblett's Full Statement
The UFC fighter was at the Liverpool trophy parade
“Went to the parade today amazing support as always for our Reds. Nobody does celebrations and parades like us @liverpoolfc. Taking the babies to their first ever parade today was a memory I’ll never forget, the looks on their little faces looking at the spectacle, and I’ll have the pictures and videos to show them when they grow up.
"Still cannot believe what actually happened after it, a day of celebration turned into a worry for everyone who was there or even knew anybody there. Friends and family messaging to make sure that they are safe is something that we shouldn’t have to do or worry about. I hope anyone injured has a fast recovery and anyone affected already knows they have the full city supporting them. Red or blue, it doesn’t matter. Things like this are more important than football.
"YNWA”
Pimblett highlighted how heartbreaking it was that friends and family felt the need to message loved ones to make sure they were safe, something no one should have to worry about on a day like that.
The UFC star extended his thoughts and hopes for a swift recovery to those that were injured, making it clear that this incident transcends football. It is a human tragedy that affects the entire city, regardless of whether people are fans or not. Pimblett’s words carried a strong message of solidarity and resilience, reminding everyone of Liverpool’s unbreakable spirit.
