Topic: CL FINAL Real Madrid 3 v L’pool 1

[sms1986]

Well, it sucks but we tried our best and to get to the final after years of barely being in the Champions League at all is a great achievement. 3-1 flatters Madrid, but we cannot feel anything but pride because we fought as much as we could.

We're at the start of something great with Klopp, tonight wasn't our night but we're still climbing that hill.

Amazing goal from Bale, though, certainly one of the best in a Champions League final.

[Sh0rty]

Hendo bollocked him after roma for a reason 

[Zoomers]

Just can't bear it. That first and third goal were an absolute joke, you cannot be doing that in a final. Absolutely heartbroken...

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Liverpool MOTM  Robbo

Nah  Mane by a mile

[lessthanmatt]

Lack of squad depth fucked us eventually.

We were basically toe-to-toe. Separated by a worldie and Karius

[jillcwhomever]

A worldie and two goalkeeper howlers. In general play we were there. Sad. Karius was shit on the worldie too to be honest.

Literally every other player pulled their weight for us.

While its true he made those mistakes, he still did some good saves. The team didn't deserve it, and frankly the game was decided after Ramos got rid of Salah.

It's not a worldie if he was shit. He made mistakes on the other two but not that one. The turning point was Ramos being a twat.

[Red Beret]

Broken for Jurgen, and Mo.  Absolutely heartbreaking.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Obviously stings, but I still feel nothing but pride
 
Went up against the Masters of this and came up short. Still doesn't diminish the acheivement of this.

Gonna sound bad but I feel sorry for Karius. Had a bad game at the wrong time. Want him to pick his head up and move on

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

First mistake is somewhat forgiveable, a freak occurrence. The second mistake is just outright terrible.

The rest of the players didn’t deserve that.

[Chig]

Karius is a good keeper but hasn’t got the bottle to play in massive game. We need one that are as good or better but with balls.

[Enders]

Lack of squad depth fucked us eventually.

That and a goalkeeper that can't catch a football

[elkun]

We were soo much better then them until the shithouse called ramos injured Salah. That fucker fucking hate him. They werent better then us at all. They needed to cheat and the help of Karius and a worldie

[Red_Potato]

Shame we lost Mo.
And shame we didn't play with a keeper.

[QC]

Hard to swallow as we didn’t deserve that.

[TepidT2O]

Nah  Mane by a mile

Absolutely...

Ramos won it for them really...

We will return

[NY-AmericanRed]

Gut punch. Can’t win a game when your keeper plays like that.

Unfortunately this. We’re very close though to a real huge run

[stockdam]

Sad night but we just weren’t good enough on the night. Ramos’s deliberate judo throw on Salah won them the match......cheat.

[JovaJova]

The team gave it their all but sadly it was one of thise days where the football gods conspired against us. What might have been if Salah had not been taken out.

That’s the end for Karius but Real deserves it regardless.

[Circa1892]

Thought Lovren and Mane were absolutely brilliant tonight.

Heads high redmen.

Lovren was a fucking machine. Had the joint greatest player of all time in his pocket all game.

[Red James]

Absolutely distraught. I don't really have words. Just heartbreaking. The entire game changed with Salah off. It felt like we really could have done it but just looking back it went downhill and Karius kind of encapsulated all of that. Nothing against him and I'm not going to throw insults at him, but he quite literally dropped the ball.

The team didn't deserve that and neither did the fans.

[Marcel]

Eight years ago this month we were sacking Rafael Benitez to replace him with Roy Hodgson.

We just lost a close Champions League final to Real Madrid.

Turnaround.

Yep, at the worst moments you just have to say that things are generally looking up. Still crushing though.

[sms1986]

Turnaround.

We'll get more finals in the coming seasons, I'm sure of that.

[Pradan]

Bit mental. Just sit back and take that all in - Salah injured, Karius with the worst keeping performance you'll ever see and the Bale wonder goal.

Got to laugh rather than cry.

[DanA]

Brilliant game by TAA. 19 with a Champions League final under his belt.


Unfortunate game by Karius....he looks shattered

[artanis]

Proud of the team this season.
Next season we go again. Bad things happen.
Once Salah went off injured it turned into an uphill.
Refereeing was decent for the most part.
Will not slag any players. They all played well to get us into the final.

[El Lobo]

Anyone slagging the goalie can fuck off

We win and lose as a team, and we weren’t good enough tonight. We’ll come again. And anyone saying we need to ‘learn the dark arts’ can also fuck off, I’d rather win fuck all than support a vile, incestuous ‘club’ like that and benefitting time again from filthy referees. Fuck UEFA and fuck Madrid, we’ll go again.

[Nobby Reserve]

Anyone got Allisson's agent's number?

Fucks sake.

[Iska]

That was 0-1 to a Bale worldie, that’s how I’m remembering it.  So fucking proud of them regardless.

[Shepnois]

Have to feel for Karius tonight he showed the world he's miles out of his depth despite some recent improvement. Sad way to lose a game, we played pretty well was always going to be hard after Salah went off but when your keeper does what ours did tonight you haven't a hope.

[lgvkarlos]

Unlucky lads, thanks for a great season.
Best team won, fair play to Madrid players after final whistle. Didn't go running around the pitch, went a consoled our players very classy.

[Zeb]

Would someone go and get Lovren? He was fucking immense tonight. Shouldn't be sat there on his tod.

[lessthanmatt]

It's not a worldie if he was shit. He made mistakes on the other two but not that one. The turning point was Ramos being a twat.

No goalkeeper expects that from Bale there. But it was hardly in the corner and Karius just flies through the air aimlessly like a swan dive. I get you though

[SinceSixtyFive]

Wow. Not our day (yet). It'll come.

Perhaps should have been 1-1 and gone to extra time?

Losing Mo was a huge blow and we obviously need to improve our bench going forward.

Night all - god bless.

[ScouseinDK]

Yes Karius, I blame you

[aw1991]

Proud of the lads, this one hurts...
I know the temptation is too big for some, but try not trashing Karius tonight lads. Now is not the time.

[Reese]

Oh well, just have to win it next year.

Ouch though, that's painful. Losing is one thing, but like that? Wow.

Salah injury killed us.

[Dench57]

Absolute warriors, so proud of the lads. Didn't put a foot wrong all game. The game changed when Salah went off. Karius's Liverpool career ended tonight in horrible circumstances. But the rest of the boys can hold their heads high.

[skooma]

Sergio Ramos playing dirty and of course, getting away with it every time. Complete bullshit.

[Snail]

Don’t ever play for us again.
