That's it. Makes me nervous for next season cause unless we can buy and do so wisely Champions league nights might be short and sweet.

Still might be a Liverpool double.. That be even worse!

I do feel sorry for Messi, I still feel he will win his 6th ballon d'or regardless of this. For Valverde to instruct his team to sit back , the mighty Barca to sit back a slow team with several ageing players to sit back at Anfield of all places. Insane decision to play Dembele in their last match as well. Valverde is a fool and deserves to be fired. Any decent manager can win La Liga with Messi and a weakened Madrid.

They went this far because of Messi. Once that guy retires, Barca will reach the last 16 and no further. That team is bang average without him.

Let's not get carried away, they are massively improving the team this summer.

Look at the positive side, Liverpool won 2-0 and Hazard had the chance to score two goals that could make it a 2x2. It means we are better than Barcelona.

If Liverpool wins CL, and Arsenal win EL, that means fourth spot in the league wont get into CL, right?

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

Barca are a fucking disgrace no urgency they just sleep walked the whole 90 minutes. The number of times McManaman said we during the game you can't have your co-commentator so partizan it's ridiculous. God we'll never hear the end of this if Spurs win tomorrow I'm going to join a monastery on the Orkney Islands.

Nah only if Liverpool were  to finish outside the top 4. Then be poof 4th lot gone. Max of 5 teams. I think.. 

Tbf Liverpool could've won it last week. Or scored more then they did. They just were a bit crappy.

In the event that a Premier League club win the UEFA Champions League and another win the UEFA Europa League and neither of these clubs finish in the top four of the Premier League, the club lying fourth in the table will drop into the UEFA Europa League group stage.

So we're definitely okay. Hurrah... Lets hope it's worth it.

A lot is on Valverde. And that MF, which I have bashing all year, was their downfall. Rakitic has been shit for months, same for Busquets, and Vidal is a joke. All 3 are too old. So is Suarez. I never will give up my overall maxim that post 30yo in todays football, the decline is sudden for 90% of players due to so many games and the pace of those games. They started to fall off early on in season. Valverde should have played Roberto in MF and started Semedo at RB, just to keep pace level up.

True collapse (maybe worst game I have seen him play in 5 years) by Jordi Alba, who after Messi has been their best player all year. He was just shambolic, as was Pique, who has had his best season in years, but again is old and fading.

Coutinho was INVISIBLE. Pure pressure choke. Shameful performance. Valverde got his arse handed to him by a VASTLY superior, WC manager in Klopp.

And we also won 2-1 at Anfield earlier this season. So Chelsea > Liverpool > Barcelona. 🙃

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Klopp could probably do wonders with our lot.. Shame we never got him.

Imagine being a United fan right now, btw. About to see your most bitter rival win the CL and your local rival win the PL. 😂😂😂 And that's after you yourself miss out on CL footy by drawing to the rock bottom side.
