I haven’t seen the game at all but if it’s true that some players holding up shirts with 15 on then that just makes them bigger arrogant pricks than I thought they were. Dortmund to win with a disputed penalty please.

 

They did the same before our final other them and the fluke that aswell.

Do they have different offside rule in Europa?

That was way too close for the linesman to flag. No consistency at all , flag some and then let others go.

Yes, it's called the 'Real Madrid  must win' rule

[johnsusername]

Big decision for UEFA coming soon - who do they want to play against Real Madrid in next season's Champions League final?

I haven't watched any of it so not sure what happened, but what's the problem here, both lads in the middle look offside? Was it not?

He was more than largely good. Infact if it wasn't for him and Fowler they would be seriously lost years.

 

Yeah he was a phenomenal player for us, massively under-rated I think. Brilliant to watch and often carried the team on his back, including winning us two cup finals.

 

His finishing was dreadful though, which was the only real flaw he had and the reason he doesn't get much of a mention in best ever elevens. If he could finish he'd walk into any best ever LFC side.

 

He's also damaged by playing in an under achieving side and because he left on a Bosman (personally I have zero problem with him for that). He's popular in Madrid, which says a lot for his quality as they don't tend to take to players very easily.

They didnt draw the lines, so we will never know.  The linesman put his flag up, so the ref blew his whistle as Laimer was putting the ball in. Madrid players will claim they stopped when they heard the whistle im sure.

 

We would be fuming if it happened to us, though funnily probably one which would have been forgotten about 2 mins later pre VAR and all the changes to putting the flag up.

The controversy is the linesman immediately raised his flag and Bayern scored. He should have left it for VAR - it was the bottom player that was involved in the goal and was called offside.

 

 

His knee does look offside though, and I guess you could argue the scorer gained an advantage from being in an offside position.

[dave u]

He defo should leave it for VAR. I'm assuming since they haven't shown any proof it was offside that it must have been on, otherwise they'd be putting it out there straight away to get the lino off the hook.

The more football I watch outside the Prem, the more I'm led to believe it's the Prem that has different rules to everyone else.

Really tight call but just onside for me. Rudiger's trailing foot/heel looks to be closer to the cut of the grass than Sane's knee.

[Binomial]

Hahaha.

Valencia and Alaves in 2001 remain the last Spanish teams losing European finals to a non-Spanish opposition. 10 CL consecutive final wins and 12 wins in the EL.

 

That is 22-0.

They lost a few before that though.

If you add the national team at Euros and World Cup, it comes to 25 consecutive wins in the final matches over a 22-year period, since 2001. 

 

After losing to us in '81, Real won all of its nine subsequent EC/CL finals. Five over the past ten years.

 

Lost three altogether in their history.

Some record despite some outrageous luck, sorry battling abilities. Spanish teams have lost about 7/8 all time in EC/Cl alone. Plus remember Real’s first 4/5 wins were the equivalent of a pre season tournament. Finals are all about winning as you know, Ramos and Karius won them one on their own.

Hard on Kane, but funny. He does appear to be a bit of an albatross when it comes to winning stuff.

Serves him right for staying at Spurs for too long. It’s admirable but he could have gone anywhere he wanted 5 years ago and would have a decent trophy haul now. Instead he waited and waited to go to the one club in Europe other than maybe Celtic where he’s pretty much guaranteed a medal of some sort and fucking blew it. Mind you he’s had a brilliant season, his efforts can’t be faulted. 
 

If we had Kane this season we’d already have the league wrapped up.

He won't die on that hill, he'll be stood next to me, laughing as we look down at all the doubters at the bottom of the hill, frantically scrambling over eachother to try and climb up to where us smart kids are. 

 

A lot of people have been fooled by the recent eclipse, but some of us still see the whole of the moon.
