Champions league final

Liverpool will be better when they manage to play for more than seventy minutes and sign a ‘keeper.

The Liverpool players not going back to speak to the keeper immediately after the whistle tells you a lot about modern football.

Well, Benzema was caught offside in the attack which led to Karrius first mistake of the night. Should have been flagged and thus it would have not counted, as there would have been a free kick. Serious howler nonetheless.

 

Ramos ... people may disagree but he sure meant to injury Salah there, holding the arm straight and going over it with his full weight. Then gets a slap in the face from Mane and goes down like someone poleaxed him and lamenting with the ref et al. Sorry, I simply can't stand such behaviour.

 

Bale's first goal worthy of winning such a final, the least that is said about the second the better. Karrius didn't know whether to catch or fist it and messed it up. Inbetween, some fine saves.

 

In parts a really good game and decent quality. You look at that lad Robertson and know that he's without doubt Scotland's #1 for his slot. Van Dijk had some great interventions, not worth 80m, but sure a good player. IMHO, Lovren got much better when VD linked up with him.

I'd agree with all of that dB. 

 

Ramos definitely meant to injure Salah.  No doubt about that for anyone who has watched Ramos during his career - good footballer but as dirty as they get.

Ronaldo says he's not sure of his future at Madrid and he'll have to sort things out this week.

 

Green and white flag that Ramos was holding is the flag of Andalucia (in case timbo is claiming another fan).

Spain continues to dominate

 

La Liga sides have won 13 of the past 14 European trophies - Champions League, Europa League and Uefa Super Cup.

Totally agree Gonzo at the very least the captain should have gone over to the keeper but he was too busy bubbling.

Kopp also should have made the point of consoling his keeper right away poor management.

A bravery award to the keeper for going over to fans and apologising.

A decent game though.

Benzema was onside. Replays showed he was played on when ball was played to him.

Agree that he was onside but even if off ref played game on as keeper had ball in hand so IMO it was a new phase of play and keeper made a right "clanger"
