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

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.

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 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]

Buttholes be tight.

Man, three consecutive CL trophies is a pretty epic accomplishment. Props to Real Madrid fwiw

Meh, not so sure about tonight. Liverpool will have good chances, 50/50 for me.

[lefty]

I was expecting Zidane to go with a possession lineup.

You can't play uptempo vs Liverpool

He does with Isco starting.

So we are actually playing the ing diamond?

Ramos is such a piece of tbh

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