Me and Lee will be there. 🤳
RL's working overtime then.
Strange final, that. Very end of season feel to it with a lot of knackered bodies out there. Right team won, the penalty was a good call and Son ran his legs off tonight. Not really a game to pick performances, though.

That was the worst match of football ever played.
The beauty of watching on hispanic TV is that once all the post-match wankery was done, they showed the Argentine 2nd division final. I didn't catch the start, so I did not know what they were playing for until the commentator mentioned that it was the final, but you could tell within five seconds that it was something important, looking at every single fucker giving it all. Proper football (PASSION, etc.)
Yeah, relative to the stage that was probably the shitest game ever. But fuck it, in 10 years of watching Liverpool I’ve seen them win one trophy until today, I’m not going to complain about style.
I actually didn’t think the game was as bad as people are making it out to be. 4/10
Neymar's comedy year going from bad to worse as he's now been accused of sexual assault.
Sorry, rape.
Is it just me or is Alisson getting a lot of praise seemingly on the back on having not chucked any into his own goal last night?
Van Dijk was probably the man of the match, as he has been in virtually every game this season.
It was one of those matches where doing your job was seen more positively. It was a cagey match. Harry Winks got the big-ups for his passing rate.
Lads.
Boring final, shit, slow and uninteresting but I ain't even assed. Nice to win something without a heart attack being minute's away but it isn't the same feeling.
Both the finals were lethargic affairs, probably because it's June and footballers should be on the beach by now.
Wait what?
Still one of the funniest videos ever
I can't recall a game were the midfield were bypassed as much. Had an international tourno feel to it.
Still wearing their medals.

Why wouldn't you?
Sturridge has now won 2 European cups for two English teams without playing a minute in the final.
Putting your feet on the trophy like that is a bit scummy.
Selling Coutinho to fund Van Dijk and Allison has to go down as one of the best bits of business ever.
Usually when a club sells a star player for mega money they end up going backwards with the money spent Liverpool really kicked on.
Van Dijk will only get better if Liverpool can get a top class partner for him in the summer. Looking back it's strange no one came in for him sooner, he was fantastic from the moment he made his debut.
That was my first thought.
Was Coutinho really there star player though? He was good but he was never the best player at Liverpool. When he was there with Sterling, Suarez and Sturridge, he was fourth best and then Firmino, Salah and Mane outshined him as a four again.
He's a mackem who plays for Liverpool...
Captain of the Champions of Europe to you.
I remember being adamant that bringing in Alisson and Van Dijk would not make a difference as I was sure it was a style rather than personnel issue. I'm so happy to be proved wrong.
I think Alisson gets too much praise for just not being shit, but Virgil van Dijk is immense. Ten years ago you could watch United field all manner of shit across the rest of the pitch, but if just one of the main centre-backs were playing you knew they would be alright. That's what it's like watching him. If he got a nine month injury next week on international duty Liverpool would have to write all of next season off.
He's also finished the season having not been dribbled past once in 64 games. There's no going through him.
Seems a weird one that because people have pointed out Rashford running past him but technically it doesn't count because Van Dijk didn't attempt to make a tackle.
Easily the best defender in the world right now though.
It’s a load of bollocks. No idea what hey base it on. Sane won a penalty off him for one.

The biggest issue with that Henderson picture is the way Lallana is sitting.
Never seen a minute of it and, like 2005, I never will. It's all immaterial until they win a league anyway. Good cup team again.
I'd give Salah man of the match because a) he scored a penalty in the biggest pressure situation of the game, and b) nobody did anything that was genuinely better than quite good.
One of the worst matches I've seen this season and one of the worst finals ever.
Tottenham's players, if they ever watch that back, will think 'what the hell were we doing?' That's a once in a lifetime chance for most, if not all, of them and they put in the most lethargic performance imaginable.
It didn't help either team that is was in pretty much Madrid summer, 3 weeks after their last competitive games.
Spurs scoring may have woken our attacking side back up, but in truth maybe 3 shots troubled Alisson and we were comfortable otherwise.
Yep, the heat must have made it tougher, but I don't think ~30 degrees is enough of an excuse for such a poor performance.
I think they were just scared and didn't want to lose rather than win.
That explains the first 22 seconds, but what about the rest?
The Harry "Can't drop him because he's Wayne Rooney" Kane effect didn't help them much.
The commentators kept going on about this but it's not like they've been sat off for three weeks eating pizza and playing playstation.
And surely they were in Spain (or somewhere hot) for at least a week beforehand to acclimatise?
The first month of any Premiership campaign is enough evidence to prove that training, and bullshit friendlies, are nothing compared to competitive games. Plus, I reckon you could force me to live in a Sauna for 2 weeks and I'd still struggle to cover 12km in 33 degrees. Even if I wasn't a fat cunt.
Tottenham were just completely small team about the whole thing. 'Lucky to be here' and everything. How the fuck did they manage to get that far?
If I remember rightly, Spurs trained in London and then traveled up.
I posted about it, turning up in suits like it’s a huge special day out and event for us. Just the next game for Liverpool until the final whistle where we let in what a big game it was.
Worked well

Not even bright white suits, like the sort you might wear for a really big game like an FA Cup final.
The glory days of football. Been downhill since.
All that money on suits and couldn’t afford proper cups to drink from.
Speaking of which:
Disgusting Holocaust trolling.
It really fucks me off Henderson has his feet propped up on the trophy like that if I'm being very honest. I realize that's likely the point of such an exercise but idk man it just really rubs me the wrong way.
