Can’t believe real have won another cl with that shit team 

they have been the inferior side in all Knock-out games

Pool were useless. Shame I backed the draw.

The performance by Karim was just superb forward play all evening.

[Vytis33 1,144]

Pretty epic performance by the snake I've gotta say.  Now go collect that Champions League winners medal Eden...

Pool were controlled to some extent -- do not take take away what Real did in the middle and defense. Liverpool were resumed to Mane and Salah, the latter had an excellent game creating several chances out of nothing, but Real robustness made it just a bit easier for the best goalie in the world (by far) to produce the magic. (that loan in Spain was Chelsea's biggest mistake with the youth)

Thought Liverpool were not attacking with enough numbers in the second half after conceding and waited a bit too long to introduce Firmino. It was a bit too reactive for me.

Liverpool midfield is their weakness and it's a bad place to have one. No, none of them are bad players, but at this level, they were just facing better players... every single Real midfielder was/is better than his pool counterpart IMO of course.

Courtois showing he's the best in the world. He had big moments in the last three knockout rounds and was the MOTM by a country mile.

Liverpool made one big mistake. They didn’t shoot between Courtois’ legs. 🤣🤣🤣

[cosmicway 1,323]

Courtois made the Banks save against us.
Today he made easy saves.

Indeed.

Which made Klopp's delay in changing the formation and introducing more attacking players all the more puzzling (Diaz was having a poor game too). When you are facing a goalie who is clearly having a monster game you have to produce 2x1s against him... and pool never attacked with enough players for that (maybe a couple of times with Firmino but that was too late).

Gareth Bale's winners medal should be made out of a 9 iron

Carvajal pocketed him

How much do we get from the CL add ons on the hazard fee ?

[Pizy 18,368]

All we need now is a Ferrari 1-2 in Monaco tomorrow and this is a dream weekend.

All this hype about Courtois is the agony of the supporter really.
Even a catch from a back pass makes the supporter gasp in agony.
I did n't see anything spectacular, although admittedly against us he managed a Banks save which eventually gave Madrid the champions league.
If Saleh had scored in the 83d minute you would be writing here "Courtois nutmegged again".

 

[cosmicway 1,323]

However for RM these are the lean years.
Cristiano gone, Hazard no good.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,476]

I am reading on several tweets that the Real Madrid win and Hazard’s contract just earned Chelsea €20m or €25m. Nice!
