The one we ain't playing 2017/18

invisibleman18

Couldn't have happened to a nicer team. Felt bad for Karius having been a keeper myself, but how does that first one even happen? He threw it straight at his foot in front of the goal. 😆

Bale's goal probably beats Zidane's CL Final goal too. Surely Puskas Award for this year.

First one from Karius was simply unforgivable. Hard to know how you come back from that.

To be honest it felt great to see Liverpool lose. I was dreading the narrative if they won, this sort of morale-destroying disaster is pleasing—with the exception of the injury on Salah, but we all knew Ramos was an assassin.

Bet our mate Anfield loved it

That Karius bloke, I couldn't stop fucking laughing. In a CL final as well, how dare you?

I was laughing till I saw how bad it was at the end for him, then the death threats and I got reminded of Robert Enke's depression. Not a nice thing to happen to anyone in front of a billion audience.

Saw the alternate angle replays and Ramos is the master of dark arts. Definitely did Salah on purpose to take out their best player, then did Karius as well sneakily a minute before he had that howler. Fucking despicable cunt, although I wish we had someone this cunning in our team who will do everything it takes to win.

Salah did himself trying to buy a freekick.

Claudius

Did Salah try to grab Ramos first?

Mirth

Yes

est

Delighted with the result.

Bryant

Best CM in the last 5 years?

Mirth

Don't think he was particularly impressive yesterday - telling that his best moments came after the 30th minute once Liverpool's intensity dropped off.

Just saw Bale's post game pitch side interview. Wow. That is a weird club, strange player dynamics.

goon

It’s incredible how self involved they all are.

And that’s why Zidane deserves credit. Can’t be easy to manage that group

yep. he deserves credit for keeping that group focused and consistent. he has the reputation and the clout to keep them in line, i think

Claudius

He’s also cleverly cut the squad down. While some were crying for more galactic os, he kept removing players like James and Morata, to improve distribution of minutes and harmony. But this summer, he needs to think hard about Ronaldo, Bale, Modric.

TambourineMan

Yeah big summer ahead for Madrid. Will be interesting to see the path they go down.

Claudius

This Real Madrid team might just be the best team of the 21st century.

TambourineMan

My personal opinion, but I feel that Pep's Barca was better.

Navas > Valdes

Carvajal < Alves
Varane = Pique
Ramos = Puyol
Marcelo > Abidal

Casemeiro < Busquets
Kroos < Xavi
Modric < Iniesta

Ronaldo < Messi
Bale/Isco > Pedro
Benzema < Villa

Madrid 3 v Barca 6

Also, Pep > Zidane.

Daz

Yeah pretty hard to argue with those player for player comparisons. I'm sure somebody will have a go though.

QuincyAbeyie

The Guardiola Barcelona team was much better, it's not even close. Real Madrid may have the best depth I've ever seen though.
