2018 UEFA Champions League Final. May 26. Real Madrid v Liverpool.

[Arrogance.]

Egypt can still make it out the group without Salah. They aren't a team built on a superstar. Hell they dominated African football for over a decade with local players. Having Salah just made things easier but they are capable without him.

I still think he can recover before then. It's too soon to rule him out. We need official reports

All it takes is a 0-0 draw against a bunkered in Saudi Arabia and they'll be highly dependent on a result against Russia, in Russia.
I'd rather have a guy that scored 44 in 51 matches available than to hope team chemistry carries us through the day.

Just realised that Bale's overhead kick was his first touch in the game. Legendary

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

Another finals lost for klopp

Mate...at least they to finals

I cannot believe people in here are trying to blame Klopp for this loss when his best player (one of the 4 or 5 best in the world, by the way) dislocated his shoulder and had to be subbed out 30 minutes in and his keeper put on quite possibly the worst goalkeeping performance in CL history. Like, does perspective not exist for people in here? Even without Salah, we'd be in extra time right now if Karius knew how to distribute and catch shots properly.

Klopp has his flaws as a manager, but there are really no grounds for blaming this loss on his management. He didn't really have a lot to work with after Salah got hurt.

He kept Karius as the keeper. That tells me all I need to know about Klopp.

 

[Roid Jones]

This had nothing to do with game management

Oh really, must be his shytty purchasing decisions then

 

[KamikazePilot]

When marid buy neymar this summer
And make Ronaldo a proper striker

 

[eufemism]

Bale saying he's gonna sit down with his agent this summer



You really wanna do that during a world cup year breh




Florentino will cash out on the 200+ mil it will take to buy him and buy a star at the world cup

Funny thing is, they haven't bought a lot of players the last few years or mega stars really, and they still won 3 in a row. Crazy. They're going to buy this year, most definitely.

Why would you need to buy more players when you have world class talent at every position?

Their bench is better than most teams starters...

They literally had Gareth Bale come off the bench in the CL final...

Yeah, no one thought Karius who he signed was any good. He has to take that L for that. I reckon West ham wouldn't touch him.

 

[MikeyC]

They pile drove the champions of France, Italy, and Germany just to get here though. Manchester City/Chelsea could have gotten bodied too, if they made it far enough to meet up.

They scraped through against Juve. Lest we forget it took a contentious last minute penalty for them to go through.

The Bayern Games weren't easy, either.

 

[The Riddler]

Salah not playing in a World Cup in his career will be one of the saddest things

Egypt make it to the WC like once every 35 years

Best form of his life wasted...

Palms bout to get greased to get him to pass a physical

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Thats because Real Madrid arent Noveau Riche and understand how to do this shyt properly

An element of chemistry is required for these types of teams to work

And if this team and Zidane fukk up they know that the owners will be on their ass

Nah

RM didn't buy new players because they already have most of the top players. The other top players mostly play for Bayern, Barca, and City who would never sell to RM.

Example- If they thought Pogba was better than Modric or Kroos they would have bought him 2 years ago.

I expect them to re-up this summer though.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

He won the DFB Pokal 2011-12 and he has also won A couple of DFL supercups

My bad, he’s won one cup final, the super cups I don’t count as those are friendlies.

So he’s won 1/5 cup finals. That’s shocking.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Oh really, must be his shytty purchasing decisions then

That's not game management

I agree he failed to get a GK

Even without Michael Oliver remembering every detail of the rulebook and sending Buffon off for being handsy, would you have taken Juve in the 30 minutes of extra time and pens?
