Real Madrid v Liverpool | Champions League Final (May 26th, 2018)

[Shark]

Had a look over at RAWK and and they think their team went out like true warriors.
Once Salah went off, it showed them up to be the average team they are with a winger having a freak season. Hopefully they don’t get anywhere close again for a long long time.

 

[Tapori]

What did he say?

Asked him if he's coming back to PL
Said he needs to be playing regularly and that he's been fit after injuries for most of the season
Will sit down with his agent and discuss options

Can probably see him going to Chelsea tbf

 

[witchtrials]

Oh it is

Good stuff

 

[yumtum]

Surprised Karius managed to keep hold of that medal.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Henderson crying his eyes out. I love this game!

 

[Aboutreika18]

I have been in shocked since first half. Only Karius having a blinder have soften the blow a little bit.

All the reports are pointing that he's going to be away for 7-8 weeks which means no WC. Nightmare. I have been waiting for this tournament for years and years and when we finally qualify we lose Salah just prior to it. It's as we'll never get anything good happening in our favor. Feck off football.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. Finally qualify after the great side of the 2006-10 era kept on missing out and you guys are missing your best player.

 

[Trophy Room]

Think I resigned myself to defeat when Salah went off.

Madrid deserves it after that but that’s a horrible way to lose. I thought the back four was pretty good for the most part and what can you do about Bale’s first goal? Incredible and one for the history books.

Kroos and Modric were brilliant, Ronaldo wasn’t.

I’m disappointed but it doesn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. I think I’d convinced myself it was over when Salah went off. I hope he and Carvajal make the World Cup.

Congrats to Madrid. Deserved winners and Zidane is a hell of a coach.

We need to improve our midfield options.

You need a goalkeeper mate.

Is John Henry still wondering why players go to Spain?

Yep all jokes aside you lost you best player and your keeper lost you the final, what can you do? You more than matched them up to that point, they've just got world class players like Bale that can kill you anytime. Spanish bastards.

 

[MrMarcello]

KRAP!

Karius remains at Pool!

 

[GM K]

Take a moment to think about it: 3 champions league trophies back to back! Amazing!!!

 

[Sly]

Wait a minute. Did Real Madrid win? By Ronaldo's reaction i wouldn't know.

 

[el3mel]

Yeah, I don't think Ramos should ever travel to Egypt. That was pure intent from him. Gutted for you mate.

Thanks for the feeling. Also several other posters said the same to me during the incident but I wasn't even concentrating so thanks to anyone who felt how big a blow like this for us. For other countries it won't be a big of a problem a player missing WC but for us missing Salah is a nightmare. He's the reason we even qualified to start with. I can't imagine his feeling now if it's proved that he'll really miss.

For Ramos he has been getting completely destroyed by Egyptians on twitter since the incident. Real will become one of the most hated clubs here after this I believe.

Salah injury killed Liverpool, just one of those things.

Don't remind me again.

You guys desperately need depth. I feel for you because you were the better team before Salah went off but but without him it was pretty much just Mane doing anything. Your first XI can go toe to toe with Madrid and will get better this summer but the difference vs Madrid's bench vs yours is huge.

 

[Tom Foster]

Actually, Real could have scored 5 or 6 there.
Ronnie was the worst player on the pitch after poor Karius.

 

[Mercurial]

Ramos and his selfie stick are back

 

[Sanche7]

This may be stretching it too far but was there some kind of match fixing involved?
I mean the Karius mistakes were really sketchy, especially the first one.

 

[Hugh Jass]

That was just beautiful. Poetic. Could not have scripted that better myself and i am a writer by trade. In 50 years time, everyone will be like: "Do you remember Karius versus Madrid."

Nightmare. Don't know why this shite always happens to us.

 

[marktan]

Bale would be a legend if he came to us, at Real it's all indifference by their fans and team.

Ronaldo was very poor this match, pretty much every play by him was bad.

But congrats to Real, that first XI and the depth on the bench is great.

 

[el3mel]

You from Egypt then. That sucks.

 

[Jazz]

Nevermind Jordan. Go and have a rub down with the Nivea.

 

[Carolina Red]

CR7 now owns “5 times la”

 

[yumtum]

Bale barely in the celebrations here!

 

[Tapori]

As much as Ramos is the end of a bell, I somehow prefer this Madrid team to the sycophantic and nauseating **** that was the Barca team under Pep.

Zidane has to be a candidate to coach the French Nationalteam at some point; you know it's there for him to redeem himself by winnging the world cup as manager.

 

[Tapori]

Who's the bald midget man in black?

 

[UnRational]

What a beautiful trophy

Atletico v Real Super Cup

Thank you Madrid for inflicting misery on the Arse and Dips!

 

[Hugh Jass]

Joking aside, Liverpool looked wrecked out there early on in the second half. Either they were nervous or just physically tired. Madrid then (especially modric) were so good at keeping the ball.

 

[Catt]

I didn't mean being from Egypt sucks, but rather losing your best player

 

[Sara125]

Nightmare. Don't know why this shite always happens to us.

What a shame man hope you guys get far in the World Cup in spite of what happened

 

[christinaa]

Well after all that we still have 2 Champions Leagues and they're still on 1 ,

 

[Mercurial]

Surprised Karius managed to keep hold of that medal.

The official didn't even make an effort to put it around his neck.

 

[Dumbstar]

Congratulations Madrid. You were the better side and I think you might have won even with the Karius pee-pee tapes or Salah's injury.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

I have Bobby Roode theme tune stuck in my head

I have Benny Hill song in my head

We need to improve our midfield options.

Thought ye might have pulled it off when Mané scored. The best I've seen Lovren play for ye I think and Robertson was very good. Ultimately their midfield was a step above yours and Lallana couldn't replace Salah. If ye had a player that could replace Salah and a couple of midfielders that could stand up to the Real midfield I think the result would have been different.

 

[Toad]

Exactly. Like it was a job well done. Like 3 pts in the League

There would have been a fan pitch raid if Liverpool won.

 

[The red panther]

Payback for decision to make Karius your nr1 goalkeeper and keeping Mignolet on the bench.

Grtz to Real Madrid, winning 3 times back to back it is no small feat. I don't like the feckers but respect where it is due.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Bale has been talking to Kroos a lot, can he bring him over as well?

 

[Alvaro Maestre]

I hope everybody here that was supporting Liverpool get their proper tag.

 

[Sly]

This Real celebration

They just don't care anymore.
