Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 to win the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League final in Kiev

[hadi123]

Seems like there's been some trouble with flights being cancelled, Liverpool fans are rightly not happy about this.

This is going to be a great match in my opinion. Two attacking teams.

Who will win in the Ronaldo vs Salah battle?

Will Liverpool win the CL again or will Real Madrid win it three times in a row?

I'm a United fan but actually want Liverpool to win tomorrow. Can't wait.

Predictions?

I'm going for a 2-2 draw with RM to win in ET

 

[TM Riddle]

I don't think we are any match to RM.
2-0 to Madrid.

 

[idrizzy]

Madrid.

If Liverpool wanna win they need early goals

 

[PetroDollars]

3-0 rm

 

[TM Riddle]

If Salah wins this will he be considered better than Messi and Ronaldo atm?

I reckon if Liverpool win Salah is a genuine contender for Ballon D'Or.

 

[Bewal Express]

Although this RM team is relatively weak compared to some of their other recent vintages, it does have the big game temperament, so i expect them to win 3-1.

 

[shaz619]

It's a 50/50 game but Liverpool have the edge and momentum for me, expect them to triumph and Salah to light up the final and bring the trophy back to England

Hm, Egypt have to get out the group stages too.

Is everything alright with you?

 

[shaz619]

Is everything alright with you?

Yeah thanks, how about you

 

[idrizzy]

do NOT want liverpool to win. Seriously, won't hear the end of it if it happens.

 

[PakLFC]

Liverpool keep proving people wrong. Right from the group stages no one gave us a chance partly because many fans of other sides are jealous I believe it will be 2-1 to the Reds. Real were lucky in the semi's and were crushed by Spurs at Wembley earlier on in the tournament. They are more then beatable, weak defence as well.

The defence is really weak and was exposed in the last two games against Roma.
Honestly I would be surprised if we manage to sail through this one.
Bobby needs to up his game and show the world what an absolute class he is.

RM should've lost against both Bayern and tbh Juve in a way/ But now they're in the final I don't think they'll be as sloppy and Ronaldo will score a couple, with Ramos leading the line and can't see Liverpool scoring more than once.

3-1 to Real.

Sadly you are right. It was a great journey so far and the performance by the boys had been exceptional but stopping the Juggernaut that RM is would require some miraculous skills not to mention a fair bit of luck as well.
Anyway reaching CL finals is no joke and the credit goes to Jurgen Klopp for transforming this squad into world beaters. The future looks bright.

Real's defence is not exactly brilliant either. I don't expect an easy victory for either side. Liverpool won't get thrashed like most people here seem to think. Bobby has been on top of his game this season. Our forward line is as good if not better then there's.

Does anyone know which channel is showing it in the US? Also is Liverpool the anti-establishment team and therefore the one to support?

 

[shah_1]

Big call not to start Bale after the form he has been in

Yeah they represent free spirit.

It was a serious question. Real, from what I’ve read, were long associated with the Franco regime, while Liverpool were seen as a very proletarian club. I guess now that all the players on display will be multi-millionaires, these past associations don’t particularly matter, but I was wondering if the reputations still persist.

They certainly are the underdogs/attack consisting of fasting Muslim players/anti-establishment/etc.

Oh and I think Fox sports are showing it.

Shevchenko with the cup, my favorite Milan and Ukrainian(along with Rebrov) player.

Well in that case yeah you could say that. Passionate supporters, low key players, not big on finances etc make them a underdog side neutrals could associate with.

Thanks! I’ll now watch the game with The Beatles playing in the background, while mimicking a Scouser accent. Too bad it’s on Fox and not NPR.

 

[Hasan2K8]

So can’t wait.. almost there, to start. C’mon reds!!! YNWA.

Mohamed Salah InshAllah, will get a goal. Come on !

 

[hadi123]

Decent game so far. Liverpool aren't playing badly.

 

[TM Riddle]

Gee Salah isn't feeling good at all . That fall seemed really painful ;(

 

[Abdullah719]

Nooo

 

[TM Riddle]

Decent game so far. Liverpool aren't playing badly.

Fantastic so far I would say. If not for couple of good saves by Navas, the scoreboard would have looked different than it does now.

 

[DeadBall]

Damn. feel sorry for Salah.

 

[Nostalgic]

I don’t watch much soccer so I could be wrong, but to me it looked like Ramos bringing down Salah wasn’t totally innocent. Just something about the way their arms got tangled looked at least partly intentional.

 

[Zeshan547]

M Salah chickened out, big blow for Liverpool, his shoulder seemed good enough to carry on.

 

[hadi123]

Felt so sad seeing Mo Salah walk off in tears.

 

[TM Riddle]

M Salah chickened out, big blow for Liverpool, his shoulder seemed good enough to carry on.

The guy landed straight on his right shoulder.You would have probably crapped your pants.

 

[hadi123]

Now Carvajal walking off in tears.

 

[TM Riddle]

Nacho in

 

[Zeshan547]

1-1 on the injury count 0-0 on scorecard.

 

[Abdullah719]

Congrats.

You win the award for the Worst Post of the Week.

 

[Zeshan547]

[MENTION=130700]TM Riddle[/MENTION] chill out, it was just my observation, no need to get your knickers in twist,

 

[Zeshan547]

[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] bro I have seen players carrying on after a lot more worse injuries than what Salah had.

 

[hadi123]

[MENTION=130700]TM Riddle[/MENTION] chill out, it was just my observation, no need to get your knickers in twist,

A very bad observation. You really think Salah chickened out? Either you really hate Liverpool/Salah or Salah is a very good actor and put those tears on? I think I know which one is likely.

 

[Dios]

Ramos ruined the final. As dirty a player as they come.

 

[DeadBall]

[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] bro I have seen players carrying on after a lot more worse injuries than what Salah had.

Seen, not experienced.

 

[TM Riddle]

Oh my goodness!!!

 

[Abdullah719]

[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] bro I have seen players carrying on after a lot more worse injuries than what Salah had.

Have you ever had a shoulder injury? Yes or no.

 

[TM Riddle]

My heart skipped a beat there

 

[Zeshan547]

[MENTION=57506]hadi123[/MENTION] man I am rooting for Liverpool, that's why I got so upset, i tuned in specially for Salah.

 

[Dios]

Liverpool look to have been defeated mentally. It's all Real Madrid right now.

 

[Zeshan547]

Liverpool starting to lose control, they need to keep possession,,

 

[Dios]

Such a huge contrast between the two benches. Madrid have the likes of Bale and Asensio on the bench whereas Liverpool have nowhere near that quality.

 

[TM Riddle]

Man Salah's exit has really tilted the game in Madrid's favor. They look more agressive and attacking now.
Is there anyway we can get Salah back in? Stuff him with painkillers if that's what it takes. The whole morale seems down.

 

[TM Riddle]

And yet the scoreboard reads 0-0

 

[Zeshan547]

even though liverpool had more possession in 1st half but its RM who created most chances, LP seems to running out gas, the need be more precise and make it count whenever they get scoring opportunity.

 

[Abdullah719]

Ramos receiving a lot of abuse on social media.

 

[Dios]

And yet the scoreboard reads 0-0

It will come into play in the later stages of the game.

 

[TM Riddle]

Ramos receiving a lot of abuse on social media.

Rightly so. Ruined the game for everyone.

Carvajal and Salah both look to miss the WC.So sad, especially for Egypt

 

[Aman]

Ramos is a disgusting player, can't believe the commentators didn't even bring up his role in Salah's injury.

 

[Aman]

He's always been dirty, I marked when Messi went after him. He's had it coming for a long time.

Agreed.

Ramos for MOTM, him or Navas.

 

[TM Riddle]

Ramos for MOTM, him or Navas.

Navas has been brilliant so far. Held his nerves tight when Liverpool were attacking at the beginning making sure RM stayed right in.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Ramos knew what he was doing. Dirty rat

I know right? Money rules they say

 

[babajee]

Fluke win for RM

 

[TM Riddle]

And it's goal. Carnage has begun.
Might as well sleep now.

 

[Markhor]

Ramos would've made Chris Benoit proud with his crossface attempt on Salah

 

[Markhor]

Karius is a plonker.

Who will be our Alan Kennedy tonight ?

 

[TM Riddle]

Yes Yesssssssssssssss
Yesssss

Maneeeee

Take that you liar!!

He is the ring leader of this WWF team called Real Madrid.

Good save by Karius

Isco off,Bale on.
