Ronaldo was off but Benzema might have been on. Two wrongs made a right.

We just saw why Benzema plays...he uses the ball to get Ronald in rather than look for personal glory.
If Ronaldo's word wasn't law in that dressing room Real would've bought another top striker years ago.

Not having a go at Southgate here because he made the right choice, but it's disappointing that Lallana has missed out on the world cup squad due to lack of playing time, but he's playing in the champions league final.

At one time he was our best attacking player as well. Think his inclusion has more to do with Liverpool’s lack of depth than anything else.

No need for that take down. It was utterly c***ish.

I'm in the vast minority but I want Liverpool to win this. I just can't stand real.

Same, Madrid as a club and team makes me sick to my stomach - a stain on football, especially the last few years. I really wanted Bayern to make it to the final so there would be a respectable team to support.

This is a World Cup referee who will have been training to keep his flag down in that situation for VAR purposes. He very well could have been flagging Ronaldo offside, but kept his flag down that extra second. We will probably never know.
