Sevilla's record is just mental. On balance deserved but that was a pretty horrible final.

Next season's Champion's League is going to be one of the worst ever judging by the teams in it. Shocking. :eek:

Sevilla had the mental edge, they deserved it unfortunately. Mourinho taught histeam to shithouse, they had a bunch of big feckers over 6 ft to play his brand of football but couldn't get it over the line.

We lost against this shower of shit :mad: :mad: :mad:
We shouldn’t have even been in it at that point anyway. Look at what it means to these lot to win this, this is their Champions League, this is as good as it gets, we’re not even arsed about qualifying let alone winning it.

We should have played the reserves from the off and let these lads live the dream.

Let’s face it, they deserve it, they’ve put out some great teams to get here
What the fck? Three own goals to make it into penalties. Get out of here, they don’t deserve shit. Even on top of that the fact with VAR a stone cold penalty wasn’t given to Roma. They deserve nothing.

I would like to know the logic behind letting Mancini and Ibanez take the penalties before the likes of Wijnaldum and Shaarawy, it makes no sense?

There is no such thing as 'great team' playing UEL, buddy.

This is not the old UEFA Cup when you had world class players and top teams playing the competition, cause UCL had less spots for the top leagues.

What an atrocious game of football.

I wanted Roma to win initially, mostly for Smalling and Matic, but by about the 70th minute I just wanted both teams to lose. It was pretty gruelling to watch that to the end.

Well they’ve won it because they’ve beat everyone they’ve played so they do deserve it. People forget knockout football is almost a different sport, they’re ruthless in the cups.

We were a worse shower of shit than them
To be fair they got two flukey own goals and we were missing our starting centre backs, our first choice left back and our captain for the second leg. They got ridiculously lucky in that tie.

Not a single likeable player in that team. Beautiful city, horrible football.
