Topic: ⚽ FOOTBALL: UEFA Champions League 2020/21 Season - page 7. (Read 4106 times)

No, football is a cruel sport and betting is about instincts, that's how I see it now, your team did great from the first half I was like "Shit" Real Madrid is about to get cooked as LivARPool were just over the pitch, pressing and attacking at the same time, Real Madrid were dead and I was already losing hope, but in football the moment a team begins to lose chances, there is a problem. Courtios was the only reason Real Madrid won the game; statistically, Liverpool was the better team.

We'll have more tonight. I know this isn't the appropriate thread, but since it's about European football, I'll add a grain of salt. Italy - Argentina.

Real madrid experience is no joke, they won the cup with this experience, I'm still confused about it, but this experience is completely real. Liverpool wasn't too bad in the match, they actually came very close to the goal, but they could not score a goal. Real-Madrid won the match with their tactical game. Liverpool should have done much better with this squad.

I have no idea what he said but I feel like JollyGood could do the same with my posts seeing what I said and how it all turned out at the final.    I was sooo wrong and I didn't give Real Madrid any credit before the match.  In hindsight the hint was when Real won vs City in the semifinal.  I was just so excited for Liverpool to make it.

Huge credit goes to Courtios...  At the first quarter you just know Real was gonna take Liverpool to deep waters...  Which they did.  :/  Credit goes to Ancelloti too.  It wasn't ideal but it did the job.  Congrats to everybody who made money.

I was so shocked by Liverpool when they allowed Madrid to win them in the champions league final.Despite the squad they have,the three wise men infront,the best defender they have in the person of Virgil,they were still defeated by Real Madrid.I wasnt expecting it at all.In the first half of them game,Liverpool dominated,but creating a chances and converting  them into goals was the major problem. I believe Liverpool will be very angry because what they expected is not what they saw.Madrid showed them that they are experienced in the season.

Salah stated he will not leave in the 2022/23 season.

Nobody said they thought Mane was selfish. The argument between Salah and Mane allegedly took place because Mane accused Salah of being selfish by not passing him the ball when he had better opportunities to score by being in better positions. Instead Salah took shots himself and missed which allegedly created friction between them.

I disagree with some of your points. Mane and Salah only won one champions league together at LiVARpool, so saying they made one of the greatest contributions to LiVARpool's European football is incorrect; LiVARpool were already the most successful English club in the champions league prior to the Mane-Salah era. I would have agreed if you said they gave LivARpool their first EPL trophy.

Yes, no player is bigger than a club, but losing two of your best players without a proper replacement will have a significant impact on the team, especially if the team is built around those players. Additionally, Salah has not stated anything about his future, but if both parties fail to agree on something this summer, Salah will walk alone next summer.

I don’t know why people think Mane is selfish, because he gave it all for the club and the club should have offered him high wages for him to stay, because he deserves it but they decided against it hence he’s justified in leaving the club. Also Salah is staying at least for this season, but if he leaves next season then it’ll be interesting to see who his replacement will be.

Yes, it will be sad enough for Liverpool fans if Selah and Manya leave the club at the same time. Still, it can be said that they made the greatest contribution to the club's entry into the Champions League final. However, I don't think that the departure of both players will be a disaster for the club, but it may reduce the power that Klopp has in the formation of the squad. As for Salah, it is really strange that the parties cannot agree until the end of the season itself, although Salah himself seems to have curled that he is not going to leave Liverpool.

Lewandowski announces his departure from Bayern Munich after referring to the club as "unserious," but what happened behind the scenes? Could it be that the club refused to extend his contract, or that the club has failed to make a mark in the championship league since the last time they won it? Tolisso is also leaving for nothing, so this will be an interesting transfer window. I can't wait to see him play in a decent league; he's spent his entire career in the Bundesliga; it's time to write a new chapter; Barcelona is his preferred option, as far as I know.

Chelsea's takeover is now complete, so it's time to fill some open spots in the team now that we're sanction-free.

Good you deleted his garbage post.

I will delete all the post 

If he stays until he's 31, his value will decrease and not every club will want to offer a good wage to a 31 year old player, 30 is a decent year to move and this is the best time, Bayern is already the frontrunner to get him but personal terms have not been agreed upon yet, Juventus is also interested in services, let's wait and see what happens when the marker official open in a few days time..

Pay is ridiculous!!! Looks like aid table team wages; I'm sure Everton and Leicester City pay more than Liverpool. Origi makes £49k per week? Now I see why he's leaving at the end of the season as well: pay these players well before oil-rich clubs come knocking. They have made a lot of money to this club.


Take your post count to somewhere else man!! Wtf you saying?

Mane joined Liverpool when he was 24 and has had a good career there. He is 30 years old now and has been losing Champions League finalist twice and Champions League winner once. He has also won the Premier League once as well as several domestic cups. I think he does not have anything to prove to anybody because he did it all and he deserves to play in a different league where he could finish his career with a good wage and new challenge.
 
Yes losing Mane and Salah would have created problems for Klopp because he simply does not have a replacement for either. Mane will be sold for around £30 million and that is too high for a 30 year old but some clubs will pay it.

Salah will walk for free in to the arms of a big club that will pay him a large signing-on fee near the £5 million mark and pay him well over £250,000 a week. If you were Mane and were getting half of what Salah was getting at Liverpool you would want to leave too. I think Mane should have stayed and saw his contract out before leaving on a free transfer too.

I imagine Liverpool losing Mane and Salah in the same season would be too much for the fans therefore they will cash in on Mane now and allow Salah to go for free next season. The image below is from February 2021 but the salaries are current:

Yes, no doubt, but looking at his goal stats at LiVARpool, Salah was taking all the headlines, after Mane won the AFCON, none of his teammates congratulated him online because of Salah, which to me was very wrong, before the start of the recently concluded season, he had a clash with Salah for being so selfish in games, the matter was resolved by the manager, but I don't think he's leaving because of all this, he's 30 he's leaving for a better pay rise somewhere. Wish Chelsea could get him he's a great player.

That's the new trend among players nowadays, they're selfish and just want to get everything for themselves, now is the best time to sell him because it's obvious he'll leave for free next season, but losing Mane and Salah in a single summer will ruin LiVARpool for a long time and I don't see it happening.

No doubt!!!

With Mane leaving having played his final game for Liverpool, it will be a massive loss for them. I am not sure who they can buy to replace him and losing him will upset the balance of the team. Liverpool will be a weaker team without him.

Most Liverpool fans are happy Salah said he will be staying for the start of next season but his contract expires at the end of next season and the only reason he is staying for another season is because he will leave on a free transfer and receive a multi-million pound signing on fee when goes to a club such as PSG, Barcelona or Real Madrid. If money talks too much he might he go to Newcastle United now they are bankrolled by a nation.

It is understandable you call them LiVARpool because throughout so much of the season they had VAR decision in their favour when some of those decisions were clearly wrong.

They had the game under control in the first half but failed to capitalize on opportunities. Real Madrid were outplayed throughout the game, no doubt about it, but they also have a funny way of getting results their way when you least expect it, they had only one shot at goal, LiVARpool had about 14. Courtois won the trophy for Real Madrid; without him, the team would have conceded 5 goals.

Caraboa cup = $100k, FA cup =£3.2M,  and £16m  from champions league silver medal, while Chelsea gains approximately £25 million from Liverpool's failure to win the champions league. They made nothing this season financially. Realistically, Chelsea had a better season than Liverpool. With two trophies, and 3rd position.


Mane has officially announced that he will leave LiVARpool at the end of the season, and we are now waiting for Salah to make a decision about his LiVARpool future. Do you know that Mane only makes £100k/week? Some Chelsea Academy players earn that much as well. He is deserving of better.

What is there to be sad about as far as Liverpool are concerned. They won two domestic cups and came runners-up in the Premier League and the Champions League. It is a good season for any team to get that far.

Well Liverpool fell well short of a performance that should or could have won them the Champions League. They had opportunities to take revenge but they did not gel, they did not perform, they failed to take their chances because Courtois was in great form and played average.

Ancelotti did brilliant in his first season back at Real Madrid. What a brilliant tactician.

As a player with AC Milan, Ancelotti won the European Cup (the previous incarnation of the Champions League) twice and as a manager he has won the Champions League 4 times (twice with AC Milan and twice with Real Madrid). He is the only manager to have won 4 Champions League titles.

As a player:
1989 and 1990 with AC Milan

As manager:
2003 and 2007 with AC Milan.
2014 and 2022 with Real Madrid

WHAT. A. REVENGE!!! 

I knew the moment VAR took 4 minutes to check a very obvious goal, so I knew something was up behind the scenes. At least the entire world saw the liVARpool privilege tonight, Fabinho intentionally kicked the ball to Benzima's way, but VAR says it was unintentional. fucking liars, Well, I'm glad they lost, and Chelsea just made another £25 million from the Hazard deal. Salah has been a disaster in cup finals, having played 14 finals without scoring a goal. Hala, Madrid!!!

Courtious' man-of-the-match performance kept Real Madrid in the game from the first minute until the final whistle with fantastic saves.

36 minutes gone and Real Madrid look dangerous every single time they break.

---

What a goal!!! The Benzima goal should have stood. Real Madrid should have been awarded the goal because Fabinho went in for the tackle therefore it does not matter if he did not play the ball deliberately.

Shameful VAR decision.

The teams just walked off, it is half-time.

after 59 minutes GOAL scored by Vinicius Junior !!!!


Real Madrid 1-0 Liverpool

Here is the Real Madrid goal from a different angle:






On 69 minutes this was just one of a number of saves by Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois who has been brilliant in goal.




This diving save was on 64 minutes:

Real Madrid 1-0 Liverpool

The game has ended with Real Madrid winning the Champions League 5 times in the last 9 years. They won the Champions League now a staggering total of 14 times.
