[spursistan]

Madrid and Big Dick Naldo are going to eat alive these two pathetic defenses :lol..

[apalisoc_9]

Hueg mistake by hipster coach to take out Salah.

He basically allowed Liverpool players to think its Ok to slow down.

[apalisoc_9]

Kloop is a great coach but he shows early signs of popovitchtitis..

[Canyonero]

:lmao subbing Salah for some random English

What's the away goals rule in CL? Tiebreaker?

What's the away goals rule in CL? Tiebreaker?

Yes, away goals are the first tiebreaker.

[apalisoc_9]

:lmao subbing Salah for some random English

Matt Bonner style.

Did the guy even touch the ball?

:lol

[apalisoc_9]

If Roma Comes back from this,

the young popvich should get blame.

Litterally when he took Salah out, liverpool slowed down.

Great forwards excite midfielders like Milner, Henderson etc. They work hard when there's great players upfront.

Inges..Fucking Kloop.

[apalisoc_9]

I get it though..

I imagined Kloop and Salah Agreed on a deal thaty he'd play next weeks against stoke..

[DAF86]

What's the away goals rule in CL? Tiebreaker?

If Roma wins 3-0 or 4-1 in Italy, they are through. Highly unlikely though.

[lefty]

Damn

Liverpool is gonna lose in the final

[apalisoc_9]

What's the away goals rule in CL? Tiebreaker?

Welcome to the GOAT sport btw, brother...:lol

[lefty]

I don't think Roma will go through

Liverpool will be reaady after seeing what happened to Barca

[Bynumite]

Imagine if this was midget & company going up against Liverpool. Historic beatdown of epic proportions most likely.

On another note, at this point I can't take you seriously if you rank midget 2nd to GODnaldo.

The pecking order is clearly GOATnaldo>>>>Salah>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Midget.

Ronaldo with 15 goals :wow.

Messi fans jumping in the Salah bandwagon now hoping if messi doesnt win ballon d or someone else beside Ronaldo will.

Pathetic. :lmao

[Bynumite]

Not counting Bayern out by any means but if Real does meet Liverpool in the final, Big Dick Naldo is gonna have to go supernova to offset their offense and how mediocre Real's defense can get sometimes.

[apalisoc_9]

Really hope for a madird vs Liverpool final. Its gonna be tons of Goals.

If Bayerns makes it, its probably gonna be 1-0 or something.

Smdh. We need Liverpool vs Madrid.

Vazquez is a tragedy

Even fat Spurs fan is better than him

Carvajal and Vazquez on the right. Dear god.

True but apparently it's gonna take a CL elimination for Real to upgrade. Even if he keeps fucking up.

Should have been Bayern 3-0 but Madrid will be winning the match 1-2 somhow :lmao..

RM are great a team but the amount of luk they received in this last 4-5 years CL runs is beyond ridiculous..Two first half Bayern subs due to injuries :lol.

[Bynumite]

This defense is a revolving door. Game shouldn't be 1-1 but i'll take it :lol

If I were Bayern i would definitely take a 1-1 draw given all these injuries (hoping Boeateng/Roben/Alaba are ready next week).. Can't afford to lose the tie here similar to last season..

Nah. Bayern is a quality side if they have all their guns.

The problem today is that they lacked pace and creativity so a 50 year old ribery was out there trying to do everything by himself.

James is such an antiquated attacking player. No wonder zidane had this fool in the bench. Great ball touch but in this day and age when being dynamic is key..guy still tries to play like a classic 10.

If they can get robben and Boateng back they should have a chance.

[apalisoc_9]

Also lewandaskwi.

My God this antiquated players are boring to watch.

Classic 9s and 10s are practiclly useless in todays football unless you out talent opposition by a great amount..

Bayern really looked like the better side, Not as mission impossible as Juventus, but they need those guys back to have a chance..Home pitch advantage is no longer a big factor as it used to be..

Robben might be back but Boateng probably not.

If they at least had coman they could have played ribbery on roben side vice versa.

Carvajal is clearly a weakpoint and marcelo moves up a lot.

This isnt really a series for James. Good first half but hed had to play like an active CMF to be decent. Its in his nature to play closer to a 10 which kinda sucks today imo.

RM would take Kane in a NY minute over Benzema.

However, This is Kane’s 3rd serious ankle injury and he’s playing on it.
Young players can become damaged goods.
Kane does everything better than Benezema, it ain’t even close.

[pgardn]

Also fuck the haters

This is how football goes. Ribbery was making so many good runs down the left side but BM could not convert.

RM showed exactly how to WIN. They played the game exactly how they should have given the circumstances. If anybody cared to notice, their hustle on the defensive end was enormous and... they maintained the ability to sting the opponent who was in frustration mode and ripe to make mistakes. Which they did.

Credit. If BM would have scored, RM looked to be fully capable of changing their style into more of an attack mode. This is a very difficult TEAM to beat.

tbh missi had xavi/iniesta/neymar ... penaldo NEVER played with somebody of that caliber. for the rest each team had world class players (e.g. pique, umtiti, puyol, coutinho, suarez, mascherano, bisquits, etc) equal talent to real.

It was a really fun game.

And Ronaldo was a bystander.
Hes always going to make good runs and passes but... he was Lewandoski on the winning team. Missed a meet-me-score volley right in front of the net to ice the game.

Diastrous play by the Bayern goal keeper & blind pass back. Bayern misses their #1 goalkeeper. These two teams are basically equals.

tbh you're underrating an in-form ribbery. also it wasn't just ribbery, bayern have amazing play on the flanks : kimmich, alaba, mueller, ribbery are a fucking handful for any defense. Add lewandowski creating space up front and you get a much stronger flank team than liverpool. It's not a one man effort, it's both the personnel and the strategy that made real so vulnerable in this series.

[dfens]

Nah son I was saying he is antiquated. When they loaded him the flanks opened but he is such an antiquated player that he still stayed mostly at the box so even all that space, real had the men in the middle to whatever crossess came their way.

If he was a true top 10 talent, he would have went deep, played the false nine. That way nkt only is the flank open but also the box.

But Lewandoski doesnt have the skillsets to play as a false nine.

Thats his problem.

Benz or Someone like firminho woukd have dominated in this series.

lol son did you watch the game tbh?

that was the strategy, lewandowski had both ramos and varane busy, that's why all bayern action came on far-post crosses, because the box was opened up by lewandowski's taking 2 guys to guard. That's how bayern produced their chances. And that's coaching right there, where you use a piece to negate other pieces and in doing so you open up the board, and it also takes a high level team-first player to pull it off. Bayern did the same thing to penaldo tbh, do you think penaldo is antiquated ? :lol

you have much to learn lil nigga.

Your other winger was gone no? Ribbery caused immense trouble. A 35 yo man. Tactics are fine on paper but if you can’t be flexible it does not matter, one plan can quickly go out the window. There is no way Madrid wanted Ribbery creating that much havoc in 2 games. I guess you need to explain how Robbin being injured made Ribbery a threat. Bayern had every right to get multiple goals off Ribbery low crosses.

You are underestimating Salah. And Liverpool’s ability to attack in various ways without a true CF. Now defense... That’s a problem.

Since when did he become a liverpool fan? I've never seen him cheering on the team in the past until Mo Saleh arrived on the scene.

He was all over Kane's nutsack earlier in the season when he was leading the EPL in goals.( also white and european, that's 2 strikes against Kane right there :lol)

Not a slight toward Saleh, but as far as I'm concerned, Mo needs to grab some serious hardware over the next couple of years and needs to do what he's been doing for more than a half a season before throwing his name in the ring with the Messi's and Sidenaldo's of the world. Anyone can have a break out season but staying on top is another story.

son I was talking about bayern strategy of keeping real's defense busy with lewandowski while laying waste on the wings. Ribbery alone didn't create all that trouble, alaba/kimmich had monster runs and needed to be covered. Also 35 in form year old former world class players are still exceptional.

Ribbery was by far the top playmaker in BOTH games.

He just needed to find the net because his team could not convert chances he gave them.

Robben being gone looks to have ignited Frank or something.
One would think Robben being gone would have caused him more problems.

And...
Then rate Liverpool as vulnerable for the proper reasons.

Bayern could have easily won. That back pass and then misplay by the goalkeeper. Two awful plays during the same sequence. I think Bayern was clearly better 2nd game.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

:lmao:lmao:lmao fuck.

Toothless attack which has been the issue all season long.

I like Valverde but he absolutely got the tactics 100% in the return leg. Barca have yet to have a great manager since Pep.

They weren't gonna win CL anyway this season had they beaten Roma. Their defense was getting worse as the season wore on. Umtiti has turned to shit since the contract renewal issues have come up.

Next season with Coutinho, a more comfortable Dembele and potentially Griezman we should see the best Barca team since 2015.

1981:
Royal wedding
LFC wins
Pope nearly assassinated

2005:
Royal wedding
LFC wins
Pope dies

2018:
Royal wedding
...

So either Real wins or somebody better call the Pope

[dfens]

Ribbery was by far the top playmaker in BOTH games.

He just needed to find the net because his team could not convert chances he gave them.

Robben being gone looks to have ignited Frank or something.
One would think Robben being gone would have caused him more problems.

And...
Then rate Liverpool as vulnerable for the proper reasons.

Bayern could have easily won. That back pass and then misplay by the goalkeeper. Two awful plays during the same sequence. I think Bayern was clearly better 2nd game.

agree tbh. And bayern were the best team in both games. But life is a motherfucker son, that's why experience and killer instinct are so important in high stakes games, you gotta take the chances.

[pgardn]

And luck.

”We” often give too much credit to the winners merely because they won.
It’s after the fact glorification. However, Real is so solid year after year... they always give themselves the opportunity for a deflection or a horrid misplay to advance.

Son while statistically you are right and I agree on that point, I consider that going b2b2b and going through psg->juventus->bayern isn't that much related to luck but to the ability to mentally dominate games and make your opponents choke. like raptors vs cavs for example. Real has this enormous mental advantage and it results in chokes from other teams, misses, timely goals and sometimes downright unease when playing .. this is how Real put themselves in positions to benefit from luck, because tbh in each match between 2 good teams there's always chances, great teams take them and also mentally frustrate the other teams to miss them.

Of course luck plays a role, but the mental advantage is not luck related.

[dunkman]

1 champions can be won by luck, 2 and in a row it's impossible. If they win the 3rd, Cristiano, Ramos and Florentino will became new Di Stefano, Gento and Bernabéu.

Of course they have a mental advantage, teams know they've got to be perfect to beat the most expensive team plus the refs , that's a lot of pressure

I don't have lefty powers. Liverpool's defense is too much of a joke for Madrid. If I was a betting man I would make a lot of money betting on Madrid scoring 4+ goals. Just a little tip to my nigga HarlemHeat37.

[apalisoc_9]

Its gonna be a high scoring game for sure but people forget Liverpool offense isnt really reliant on structural buildup that sees defenses going forward. Its an offense that relies on quick counter and movement by their trio.

In fact outside of the Roma game where they conceded two pitty goals in the last minute their defense hasnt been that poor.

They only conceded 1 against city in 180 mins and didnt concede any in previous rounds.

A good bet is betting on Goal totals instead of a single team overall goals. I think its a 3.5 last I saw.

Seems like an easy bet to make

[lefty]

I'm nervous tbh

[Bynumite]

You can't play uptempo vs Liverpool

Normal tackle, landed badly and he played the ball down low. Yeah could have been a foul but just a bad incident.

[TheGreatYacht]

Oh no. Nacho and Benshitma. We're done.

[Jodelo]

Yeah, like i said a foul. That he is injured is bad luck, Ramos never landed on him. Now Robertson trips Carvajal, who has to leave. Piece of shit, i guess...

[Jodelo]

Both accidents, nothing more. Would it have been someone else, no one would have said something. His reputation is just bad (rightfully at times) :lol

[Canyonero]

Nope. Carvajal's fault imo.

Isco just brutal so far and Casemiro has no impact. Running away from the ball, so he has not to play offense. :lol Being like a 5-year old girl under pressure.

[DAF86]

Let's all take a moment to reflect on the piece of shitness that is Sergio Ramos. Trully something to admire, tbh.

On another note, Madrid getting out played yet again and will still win. The World isn't raid sometimes.

[apalisoc_9]

If Ramos scores tonight...

Its gonna be hilarious. http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/QbadP.png

There's no luck there, imo. That's impossible. Zidane trains them so they respond to the challenge, Cristiano and Ramos show up when things get tough, the rest follow suit and they have world class players even on bench.

That was a well known weakness of Liverpool, I'm sure Zidane told them to test the goalie and besides Liverpool almost didn't see the ball in the game.
