Ronaldo was the worst of the 22.

There's a very good reason why Mourinho would absolutely love to sign Bale. Not trying to be reactive here in the aftermath of the game, especially considering the goalkeeping mistakes, but Bale generally delivers whenever he's fit and whenever stakes are high. He belongs to that select group of players that are capable of something special.

Would love to have him at Chelsea despite his injury record and his age.

With PL experience too!!

I wonder if ZZ might want to face harder challenges??? Could be with Eden too.

Klopp should have signed a proper goalkeeper by now. It is his third year right. He should get some blame.

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

Now bale price is gone up so much pretty much he is staying at Madrid.

If kloppy and salah leave Liverpool it's back to square one.

[Unionjack 7,531]

ZZ to us Conte to RM

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

 

Better goal keeper than Karius

 

[edetarod 2,155]

this makes me appreciate Cech even more for what he did in 2012

[El P. 1,354]

Ramos is bully, and CR is new Inzaghi. But Bale, that left foot, dear God... Liverpool have lack of quality all around. Their system is perfect, but at the end of the day - Conte won 2 in 2, Klopp have won 0 in 2 (or 3), haters will hate!

Miserable night for a miserable club with miserable fans.

Instead of being their 6th CL title it's now the 6th trophyless season in a row. No league title since before I was even born and one League Cup against fucking Cardiff City to cheer for in the last 12 or so years. Ha fucking Ha!!! Scousers the scum of the Earth.

 

[Pizy 18,909]

If Bale does go there's only one club he lands at and we all know who. It's what United have done repeatedly since Sir Alex left. Buy big names regardless of fit. Mou will be absolutely desperate to overtake his nemesis Guardiola. 

Wonder how much it would take for Real Madrid to sell. Whatever it is, probably not good for us if they do since they'll likely then look to Hazard as his replacement.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Once Salah was off, it was obvious Real will win it, no surprises. Salah isnt Pool playmaker, but his impact is just giant when he is on the pitch. Everytime he gets benched, Pool plays twice worse because there is no pressing in attack, less speed, less movement. Tonight, maybe Pool wouldnt hold on to, but if Salah was on pitch longer, they would be the first to score.

But then there is Karius, worst performance from GK ever lol.

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

Beautiful day of football.  Quite happy that Fulham are up and very happy that scousers are crying after that final.  What a lovely day it is today.

Yeah thought the same (wrote so), and agree that in all likelihood they would have lost anyway: they needed Salah on the pitch at his normal and their GK at his best.

Pretty much the opposite happened.

[El P. 1,354]

Feeling bad for Salah tho. injuring himself like that at beginning of final, knowing he is theirs only hope, and now unsure if he could even play in WC, for country where he is only good player... damn. That was brutal.

How do you know they won't go after Neymar instead?

[LAM09 7,052]

Utd have money but not that much. Neymar is probably off to Real & Ronaldo going the other way.

He's the star player, not the only player.

I meant Real going after Neymar.

[LAM09 7,052]

Ok. I expect them to go all in for him, if Ronaldo isn't bluffing.

Is Ronaldo actually even going to leave? I swear he pulls off this trick every year to get a big contract from Real.

It's the perfect time to do so. Think there's more to it than another pay rise
