Never in question

Spoiler

We come up against bigger bottlers than ourselves

seriously though, i was saying from the first leg, why the hell was Poch tryna play football against Ajax, they were running rings around us. Jose laid the blueprint in the europa final. Ball into the big man is thier kryptonite

Unfortunately, I can. I still have nightmares of Sergio Ramos in 2014.

My homeboy sat in the dark for an hour when that happened.

Everyone knew he was on the verge of a breakdown because he didn’t make a single sound - just stared blankly

What a year of football we've had....

We still got AFCON and Copa America in the summer

Gold Cup tho

The thing about the Gold Cup is that you will accept it during that time because there is literally nothing else on.

Shoutout to Lucas Moura tho man

Breh kept talking about how it was a dream of his to play in the semis/final of CL and how he wasn't gonna let the chance slip by ever since the draw with Ajax was made. I guess he was dead serious. Breh willed himself to a hattrick


But I would've preferred to face Ajax to be honest. Despite their free flowing beautiful play they're very naive at times and we could've managed them better.

Last thing we need is EPL fukkery in the final

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

So we're all supporting Poch for the win right?

No

 

[Spades Of Aces]

I’m still in shock that Liverpool came back against Barcelona. I shouldn’t be because Liverpool has the firepower plus the one of the best goalie in the world and Anfield. This Champions League is theirs for taking if they come out aggressively against Tottenham. Tottenham will fold under the relentless pressure....I think lol. This has been the strangest Champions League season I’ve ever watched.

If this was a Man City vs Liverpool final I would've had a mental breakdown

PTSD from the 2014 Ramos equaliser kicked in

 

[THEREALBRAND]

Twice in 3 years :AVBDamn:

There was a time in the Pre-Simeone days where just making it into the CL would have been a blessing. I try to keep that perspective whenever I reflect on our CL failures. But I’d be lying if I said the losses haven’t taken a toll.

That shyt still hurts me and Atleti ain't my team

The depth of the PL has to be what's helping these clubs find the fight to come back like this. Tottenham and Liverpool have to navigate a competitive top six where your Juves, your Bayerns, and your Ajaxes have none or one main competitors basically in the league every year.

On top of that, I think the EPL has the most competitive mid-table. I don't think La Liga or the Bundesliga really have the collection of squads that can hurt you on any given day like the EPL does. Playing the Watfords and Leicesters and Wolves of the league also helps keep you competitive each week. I know there's that "Can he do it in Stoke on a rainy Tuesday" joke about how the English tend to pump up their mid-table teams too much, but it's actually true at this point, I think.

Liverpool and Tottenham were in a fight every week that they're not playing Huddersfield this year. Even Fulham pushed Liverpool at Craven Cottage a few weeks ago. EPL squads are blooded in battle more than the other European leagues, I guess.

Then again, I could be wrong about the league preparing PL teams for CL play because Tottenham hasn't even won in the league in what seems like forever, but somehow they're pulling off three-goal comebacks away from home. Maybe Pochettino just decided to focus on winning CL rather than to bother with getting top four.

The EPL is the home of fukkery as far back as I can remember. shyt never goes according to plan. I mean look at Origis winner against Everton this season

Liverpool have scored the most late winners in the league this season. We been doing this all season.. Obviously not to this extent and against these odds. To even make it through the groups stages we had to beat Napoli and keep a clean sheet to progress. I guess the boys have become way more resilient. We been playing under final conditions every week for months with the margins so thin in the title race.

I know it's been present throughout this thread but this final really mean top 6 fans can't say "Where's Liverpool/Spurs' trophy?" after

But still we gotta do it three for three. Last time a team debuted in the final they lost (Chelsea), so did the team before (Arsenal). London clubs against storied teams - let the pattern continue

 

[Switch]

when arsenal loses tomorrow....

Fixed have no faith in these bums
