Urgh, shitty way to end the season really, and I feel like we should have found one goal, think Wenger blamed Mane and Salah last night but they did take their chances -- I love Diaz but he's not so good a finisher and when Jota came on his touches weren't as good, Bobby should have started with Mane and Salah like the good old days but anyway, no use to look back and cry.
I really don't think Liverpool could have done anything better to be honest, I'm more opined that it was just one of those days where you really just can't get things to go your way regardless of how well you try, the result if fair enough should have been nothing less than a 3 or 4 goals lead for Liverpool even at the break, Courtois seemed more like a superhero last (way more above his usual standards), and the strikers couldn't have done anything to prevent those saves tbh. Real Madrid played like shit almost all night long, and only had a couple of chances with Liverpool playing more out of desperation. Klopp couldn't have started the game with better line up imo, Diaz while not being clinical enough was very efficient in creating plays and making runs, starting with Jota would have had Salah and Mane become the only one making the dribbles or generate attacks, and Firmino looked really rusty (Klopp should probably try and get all his players on in a heavy rotation policies to keep them match fit) because none of the substitutions seemed to have made them a better team imo.
