Real Madrid must pay more in wages for bench warmers than the likes of Burnley and Brighton do for their whole squad.

Is that 5 champions league winner’s medals for Bale now? Unreal.
Bareth Gale and Eddie Hazard the true winners of tonight
Ceballos has 5 too I think. Proper chancer.
I find Bale hilarious. He gives absolutely no fucks except for the Welsh national team and he’s got 5 Champions League winners medals. He’s winning at life.
And when he does get the minutes, he's usually switched on.
That's a wrestling promo.
Jurgen Flopp. Looked like a corpse for 90 minutes.
Was about to go asleep and then started pissing myself laughing again at Diogo Jota coming on in the Champions League Final. The game was over when that melt walked on. Absolutely bobbins
What the sweet fuck are you on about? If anything it was the disrespect of playing that favela cunt over Bobby and that African gorilla over Matip that cost us but criticising Diogo is akin to your strange vendetta against Rudiger before he shat on your dirty face.
Ah well, the thing with being the best team in the world is, the glory can only ever be delayed.
The great thing about Ancelotti's Madrid is that he still sets them up like a 90s/00s team. Great players who know what to do and graft without necessarily having a "defined style of play" like Guardiola or Klopp. Benzema and Modric are giants of the game.
Much as I would like to get stuck into the French authorities, literally every time Liverpool make one of these finals there are some kind of ticketing/crowd problems outside. No one else can say it so I will bravely do so.
Yeah they've just been crying on the news, one bloke said he has been to 5 finals and never seen problems like it: wasn't Istanbul bad? All I can think of is that 'Up the ticketless reds' banner, I know a lad who got into Wembley the other week without a ticket. Obviously the French aren't a soft touch.
The amount of people on the side of the French Police. All they know is tear gas and riot shields.
Well on the other side you’ve a bunch of scummers with form for it, so is there even a right side?
He probably would have contributed more last night than Salah did- I only ever watch Liverpool when it's a big game and I'm not sure Salah has turned up for a single one of them, outside of scoring a penalty 3 years ago.
True though if Courtois’ bicep didn’t tip that shot near the end around it would have been filthy.
In a rare moment of agreeing with phonics, the French police are absolutely useless. It's easy to just say it's a Liverpool problem and some element will be true, it reads like an under prepared, badly staffed and badly policed event.
St Petersburg wouldn't have had these troubles
Istanbul was fine. It just took an absolute age to get out into the middle of nowhere where they'd built the stadium, and even longer to get back in to town at god knows what in the morning when the game finally finished. Don't recall any issues in the other three finals since either. The fake ticket thing (whether real or not) would really put me off trying to go nowadays though.
This is clearly bad policing.
I know Liverpool fan narrative and all, but there’s a weight of Journos and public accounts of what went on and the whole thing sounded like a shambles.
And yet the Madrid end was mysteriously fine. Have a day off you lot. The French police may overreact, but it's still a reaction to the shitty behaviour of the Liverpool fans.
That's an organisational issue.
Aye, it's probably a bit of both. Let's assume the gates at the Liverpool end were fucked. Would the police allow the Scousers to enter from the Madrid end? Probably not. Either way, there's bother.
The police will have overreacted to whatever was going on, and then that will have caused even more problems. You could see from the standing room in the Liverpool end that loads of people had got in without tickets.
I also imagine the bottleneck would have been a bit more manageable had tHe TiCkEtLeSs ReDs not turned up in their thousands.
That wasn’t a fence it was a ramp to another ramp. The stadium wasn’t even in the shot.
All this rare agreeances with phonics. I’m on a roll.
And he's claiming benefits. I don't know what other boxes are left to tick.
Poor sods getting pepper sprayed
The Millwall fan punching the Spurs fan a couple years back was miles better.
I don't condone violence, but what do you expect in those scenarios?
Keeping himself to himself (I.e. "doing nothing") would have prevented the punch too. There's thousands of people about and emotions are high. If you don't want any trouble in that environment, stay respectful.
The geezers throwing punches could have easily been French Liverpool fans. Or Jewish Liverpool fans. As much as they shouldn't be throwing punches, imagine the twat was juggling potatoes in Dublin and shouting "are you still hungry lads?", I dare say you'd be fine with him getting twatted by someone then.
Is the implication that he's doing a Nazi salute? I don't think he is, and I don't think the people hitting him think that either.
Speaking of which, Ralf is going
