[Football] The Champions League Final… Liverpool v Real Madrid Match Thread

[WhingForPresident]

Jesus, what an awful game. If an English club went out and played like Real did tonight, the world would be giving them pelters for being 'boring' and whatever. All credit to Ancelotti for somehow making that team European Champions; a minor miracle.

A Hughtonesqe performance from RM

Exactly what I said at half time. Except Hughton's Brighton were more entertaining. What a poor match.

PL is the biggest, coolest, greatest, richest league... and then Spain walks home with the CL trophy.

Yay!!!! Have another pizza to celebrate, you bitter tramp.

There’s a few fireworks going off in Liverpool that I can see from my garden. Presumably Everton fans!

How many Spaniards in that Real team? One?

Not sure what more Liverpool could do really when you look at the stats. Courtois has made a huge contribution to the game...Real poached a goal and did little else.

Completely unfair. Real had about three really big chances on the break, and could very easily have ended up winning 2 or 3 nil.

We’ll played RM

MOM Real Madrid goalie says it all

 

[Swansman]

Don't like Real Madrid but this is the 5th CL trophy for 9 (I think) of their players... nothing you can sweep under the rug, it is pretty ****ing impressive.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Liverpool looked completely shattered and out of ideas in the last 20 mins.

 

[Springal]

Liverpool didn’t score in the Champions League final, the FA Cup final and the League Cup final.

‘Greatest team of all time’ [emoji23]

Two Spanish players played for RM tonight (Carvajal and Ceballos). Same as there were English players playing for Liverpool (TAA and Henderson)

 

[Pevenseagull]

Liverpool have scored just 1 goal in over 6hrs of cup final football.

.. Divock Origi got it.

Micheal Owen talking crap........

Liverpool are the best team in Europe......No Micheal they are not, they didnt win the Premier League, They didn't win Champions League so shut the front door your sounding stupid.

That Mo Sala take down on his left boot from that long ball over the top (that Coutois saved with his elbow) was a sublime piece of skill. Running at full speed too. Unreal.

 

[Swansman]

How many Spaniards in that Real team? One?

Yup. One starting, two in total. So that's one less starting than Liverpools two English players (TAA and Henderson).

 

[Bodian]

Wrexham v Grimsby was far more entertaining.

Love the way BT Sport kept promoting the Solihill Moors v Chesterfield match!

By the way, is that our Cheaterfield? Didn't know they were now in the National League.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Yup. So that's one less than Liverpools two English players (TAA and Henderson).

Two each. Ceballos came on.

 

[Swansman]

Two each. Ceballos came on.

Yeah corrected it, I thought he wrote "starting" first.

As you say, Real had maybe three big chances " on the break " but Allison barely got his gloves dirty .. if Real had won 3-0 playing like that it would have been a travesty given that most of the time they were throwing themselves in the way of attempts on their goal.

The last time Liverpool lost in the final to Real Madrid they came back the next year and won it. Just saying.
