What a weird match.
Klopp must be rubbing his hands together watching this. His front 3 will tear either of these a new arse if they play like this.
Like always, though, they've gotten so many lucky breaks. Every team seems to leave their shooting boots at home when Real Madrid come to play.If they get to the final, Madrid would have dispatched PSG, Juve and Bayern.
Liverpool meanwhile have blown away Porto, Fazio and a team that has fuck all idea how to play a Champions League game. Ronaldo would end them with the filthiest offside handball you've ever seen.
Marcelo is usually jank defensively but he’ll see Salah as a challenge and tighten up. He has the pace and shithousery to frustrate him.
Those saying Liverpool practically have it in the bag, how many of their team gets in this Real side?
Salah...er, Firmino perhaps? Both defences can be suspect, but Ramos and co have been less suspect at a much, much higher level and when it matters, and no matter how great Salah has been, he isn’t and never ever will be Ronaldo.
It would be typical Ronaldo to shut up the Salah chat and turn over an old enemy in Liverpool.
na....only the very best beat Real in the CL.....Like always, though, they've gotten so many lucky breaks. Every team seems to leave their shooting boots at home when Real Madrid come to play.
Lets hope it continues if the expected final happens then.Like always, though, they've gotten so many lucky breaks. Every team seems to leave their shooting boots at home when Real Madrid come to play.
I agree that Real Madrid would probably be favorites in the final, but how many Liverpool players would get into Man City's team? There are more important things than how a team looks on paper.Marcelo is usually jank defensively but he’ll see Salah as a challenge and tighten up. He has the pace and shithousery to frustrate him.

It's not luck with Real, it can't be a co-incidence that they manage to navigate themselves to the latter rounds more often than not.
They pretty much always play and win against the same three teams - Bayern, Juve, and Atletico Madrid. Normally they are pretty even games and their opponents are particularly nonclinical on the day. Juve, for example, pretty much scored every chance they had against us and then against Real they created and missed tons of chances in the first leg.
Just annoying seeing Madrid win every year. They aren't nearly a good enough team to win it 3 times in a row.

Yeah but they've had the luck they needed at the right moments. You can't win it three times in a row without a significant amount of luck. Much better teams have failed to hold the trophy because they didn't get the lucky breaks when they needed them.Eh? They would have beaten PSG, Juve, Bayern and Liverpool.
If they win it, I’m not sure anyone can argue they ain’t good enough
Yeah but the point is whilst their opponents are not clinical, they are. Sometimes you can't explain why teams like Real seems to find their way through games but they just have the mentality and the experience of winning the competition despite them maybe not being the better team on paper, you can't say they haven't deserved their trophies can you?

I'm saying I don't think they're good enough (mentally or otherwise) to win the trophy three years in a row. So if that happens I'll put it down to an inordinate amount of luck in allowing it to happen.
