Mansfield imploding in this play off game.
That's a version of Summer Holiday I'd probably watch.
Real Madrid: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Valverde, Vinicius Junior, Benzema
Subs: Lunin, Marcelo, Nacho, Ceballos, Camavinga, Isco, Lucas, Hazard, Asensio, Bale, Rodrygo, Mariano
Liverpool: Alisson, Trent, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson, Diaz, Mane, Salah.
Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Matip, Tsimikas, Milner, Keita, Jones, Elliott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Jota, Firmino
As far as I can tell, that's full strength from both sides. I felt more confident against the Madrid of 4 years ago, I'll admit.
We've tended to start very slowly and sluggishly in recent games. Do that again here and there will be trouble. The way both are set up, I suspect whoever scores first will win.
Liverpool to win 3-1.
Too close to call. I just hope they don't bore the place to tears.
Why does Alexander Arnold only warrant first name basis? Not even a 'Mo'?
Toni Kroos starting![]()
Two early Liverpool goals, a 3rd while Madrid chase it and get one back, and they'll add a 4th as it runs down. A very handy 4-1.
Madric always just look like a team waiting to collapse at any point, no matter how well they're playing.
The baby is bed, food is cooking, beer is poured…. I’m ready!
I see the Kopite mongs have been storming into the stadium without tickets.
What could go wrong?
Hopefully you can't kick holes in this stadium.
The game is on the BT Sport YouTube channel for free tonight, if anyone wants to put up with Michael Owen.
Michael Owen? Ffs.
At a guess, Madrid want to clogg up their right side/our left and encourage Trent to come forward, then play Vinicius in off that. I assume Liverpool wanted the pace of Konate to try and deal with that too.
I think it'll be 2-0 to whoever scores first.
Bang up for this!
Did anybody see Jake Humphreys' LinkedIn post? Fully autistic.
Still massively preferable to the main scums they get in as pundits.
My intense hatred of both sides is taking the shine off, but it does have the makings of a great final.
On balance, I think I might - and this makes me feel a bit sick - actually prefer a Liverpool win. For all the Scouse flaws, the "Spanish Giants" have always been the most entitled cunts in football. The Mbappe seethe has shown that nothing has changed in that. I want to see the tears of Spanish Children.
Why would you be following Jake Humphries on LinkedIn?
Looks like Thiago has felt something in the warmup.
Thiago on the ropes.
I've always admired Real, a proper club with fantastic morals. Let's go boys.
To get to the other side.
Liverpool end looks half empty.
They're all still stood at bus stops.
Kenny Dalgliesh’s daughter was greeting about getting into the stadium being impossible earlier or something.
Delayed by 15 mins because of the scruffy bastards![]()
French police using teargas on the Liverpool fans. Disgusting. That would never happen in Brexit Britain.
Actually I can’t think of something Boris would approve of more.
All over Twitter now. Liverpool fans are climbing the fences outside.
Hopefully this gets cancelled and they just give Real the cup. Fucking rats.
Hahaha Scouse fuckers.
Seeing as Hillsborough is basically their religion, you think they’d learn at some stage.
Fans of any English club (maybe not City) would do the same. Did you not see the Euros final?
I’m watching this abroad so have no idea what’s going on, but suspected Liverpool fans were at the heart of it.
"Why does everyone hate us la?"
Wonder why. Cunts.
Oh 8:30 now. They just gave us the French time for some reason.![]()
It's all on the police, obviously. Not the salt of the earth fans.
Scum club.
Our lot would give up and then trash Paris.
