Had to make some pancakes to drown my sorrow. Salah and Thiago invisible. Shame Origi was injured they could have used a straight up 9.

In fairness, with a front 3 of Messi, Suarez and Neymar, anything less than a trophy would’ve been a failure.

This Real Madrid team was :flabbynsick: status. To come back against PSG, Chelsea and City was ridiculous. Have to give credit where it’s due, Don Carlo’s Two CLs with Real is more impressive than Zidane’a three peat.

Zidane won when Barca were in disarray (with Neymar leaving). Atlético were struggling to win in the finals twice. Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema were just ridiculous during that period.

Jose came close but he struggled against a prime Bayern and Barca during his tenure at Real. Winning the CL in 2014 and 2022 was way harder in context.
The manner they kept coming from behind, with an old partially washed squad - this is the best run I’ve seen in my lifetime. The fans wanted to assassinate Don Carlo last Christmas.
I agree it's a great feat, not disagreeing there, I just think beating only champions in your run is the perfect run. Felt like the 90s when only champs were competing in the C1.

Liverpool have been on dead legs since the Carabao cup, even Fabinho said recovery from that was very difficult. Them not scoring today isn't really a surprise. Once the game hit 75 mins I knew it was a mountain to climb at that point.
Still don’t have depth, and with our outgoing and FSG idk if we can get what we actually need. Not to mention pending big ass players on last year contracts

Man BT sport here in England has been unbearable for the past few days/weeks. To be honest all our media has been slobbing of Liverpool, even to the point Gerrard and Owen are still saying Liverpool are the best team in the world, even though Madrid JUST won and they can’t even congratulate them and just keep going on about defensive performance. Smh.

Bitter bitter fukking dippers. Our media coverage of English teams is incredibly biased and I’m glad Madrid beat them today.

Tbh we can't even complain

We were bailed out by the offside call.. So RM had to score twice

They can take all kinds of pressure at the back and clinical once Benz and Vinicius get in your box. Hard to beat a team like that

Can't even hate on them. They had a legendary run
