This 40 mile "rule" just shows again what a load of made-up bollocks all religion is. I think Liverpool should force them to eat if necessary. A Champions League final is no time for silly superstitions. That being said fasting is actually really good for the body and I do intermittent fasting almost every day (i.e. not eating for 16h). Not sure how I would fare in a competitive football match at the end of these 16 hours, though.
Yeah like any club would force a player to eat against his wishes.

I'm a big a fanny as anyone when it comes to football, but could not imagine getting violent over this game that is supposed to bring enjoyment to us all. What kind of mindset to these clowns have to attack a bunch of people all because of the colour of their shirts? Cant wrap my head around it.

They want to hurt someone, football is just the excuse.

They don't do it because of the colour of the shirts. They're idiots who like violence and use football as an excuse.

Well they should go and organise a meeting under a bridge and knock the shite out of each other. Dont attack people randomly in a public venue. Scum.

Getting to Kiev sounds like an absolute nightmare in every way. Flights have been well over £1000, as is one night's worth of accommodation. The city is clearly lacking the infrastructure for such an event. Poor from UEFA yet again.
I've been reading the reports of the ridiculous flights Liverpool fans are having to take, with several changes in different countries. Why isn't this final being held in (say) Germany or France? Does the venue have to be set in stone so early on?

And the unfortunate ones whose flights have been completely cancelled - it's awful.

You don't have to play innocent so convincingly.

Those attacks have nothing to do with football.

3-1 Liverpool. Salah, firmino and wijnaldum scoring a third after Ronaldo pulled one back. Guaranteed pool win

Agreed, can't see any other outcome with Madrid trying to go toe to toe with their attack. Little does any team in Europe seem to know, it's quite easy to nullify them by getting men behind the ball and closing the space in behind. But no one respects Liverpool enough to deploy those tactics.

Salah, mane and Firmino will 'retire' Ramos and Marcelo in this one.

Zidane used BBC-trio in El Clasico for weeks ago and he could field them again on Saturday.

Bale has been in a terrific form laterly, but neither he or Benzema are challenging for the same spot whatsoever.

And let's not forget RM tends to play with 10 men bcs Cristiano tends to be left isolated when Benz isn't on the field, which happened far too often.

Expecting to see Karim on the bench is nothing but a wishful thinking from your side.
The BBC will never play against Liverpool. The game vs Barcelona was the first time in almost abyear that the BBC started a game and they didn't developed well. Vs Liverpool you can be sure Zidane will play Isco for having the ball most of the time, and he won't play a frot 3 that would be perfect to Liverpool attack because neither of the three really tracks back.

Also, in the 2 other UCL finals Zidane and Madrid played the last 2 years, the team that played the last Liga game was the one that played the UCL final.

So expecting to see Karim playing in the final is nothing but a wishful thinking from your side. Definitely not happening...

As we approach the game I can only see a Liverpool win. Obviously, I'd love for Madrid to spank them. However, this is not the same prime Madrid that dominated teams in Europe in the past 3-4 years.

The only thing I'm hoping for is Madrid to score first and pile on the pressure until Liverpool players crack like they did vs Roma away. There is a bunch of average players in that Liverpool side who will be questioning their ability if they go down a goal. C'mon Ronnie :devil:

I hoped Real lose it the last 2 years because the way some refs helped them during big games and some crucial decisions even this year though but against Liverpool we only have one option.

I won't be watching as it is an early morning kick-off for. Maybe I wouldn't watch even if it were on at a decent time.
Obviously I hope Liverpool will lose, but if they win it then fair do's to them.

No such thing as a guaranteed win, only favourites. And Liverpool aren’t even that I believe.

You have to be kidding me. You know Liverpool are playing against Real Madrid right? Because judging by this post it seems like you, and the person you replied to think they are playing against Oldham. This is a final so its literally 50/50 however there is not a chance on earth this will be an easy win for liverpool like you and many others suggest.

People give Liverpool a chance because of literally one player. If they didnt have Salah in their team and in the absolute monster form hes been in for the entire season then lets be real not many people would say stuff like liverpool is easily going to win, you better think twice if you think Madrid will be afraid of Mane and Firmino. Literally all they have to do is shut down Salah and its game over, and if Mourinho could shut down their front 3 with the likes of Smalling and 2 senior citizens at left and right back, then I believe it will be piece of cake for Zidane.

So is it correct that Salah will be fasting for Ramadan?
Can’t imagine he’ll eat nothing the whole day. I think the rules are different for travelling Muslims anyway.

I think Mane is also a muslim btw.

Both Salah and Firmino have 10 goals in 12 CL games. Mane has 9 in 10 CL games.

Mourinho, and the others that have successfully shut down Salah have deployed tactics with men behind the ball. Even Stoke managed it the other week. Salah doesn't really hurt teams in front of them, its when he gets in behind, which is what I think Real will allow him to do. I'm only calling it as I see it, but when City deployed tactics similar to those Madrid will likely play, they got destroyed, so I don't think its that outlandish of a claim to predict Liverpool will win comfortably.

Not really just one player though is it? We didn't beat City twice because of just one player, it was a team effort. Firmino is vastly underrated on here and Mane is a really dangerous player on his day.
Individually, we have 3 quality attackers. As a unit, our whole team is dangerous. Salah wouldn't be getting the numbers that he is without the constant pressing from the other members of our team.
Personally, I can't see us winning this. Madrid are too experienced to let us win but to even be in with a shout of winning the final is something that no one on here would have predicted last August.

3-1 for Liverpool ? Really ? Waww.....i will note these posters. May be i am a football moron, but this prediction belittled Real so much.

If there is a chance of Pool winning this, it will be with narrow margin....

Liverpool will try to get an early goal. They are not Bayern who could constantly attack until last minutes, they will gash 15 minutes before the 90th.

And no, they will not beat Real Madrid.

I think Mane will get a goal - he has been threatening in the Champions League games up til now, and I think if Real concentrate on stopping Salah especially then Mane will be the one to benefit - but otherwise I agree, Liverpool will get at least 3 against this Madrid defence and keeper. I can also see something particularly annoying like a Henderson wonder strike to really add insult to injury.
