Champions League/Europa League 2021/22

[NathStPaul]

Michael Owen embarrassing himself

"Liverpool are still the team to beat in Europe"

.... they were beaten...

Got to say the BT Sport punditry and commentary teams were awful tonight. Capped off spectacularly by Michael Owen revealing that he lives in some kind of alternate reality.

Anyone wanna go to the trophy parade tomorrow?

Lesson for Southern glory hunters, support Real Madrid. It’d reflect better you.

Message equally valid for Man United “fans”.

[LUX]

In fact, more so.

Europey Conference League qualification…IN

[Loafer]

Hope Bale goes really over the top celebrating this

Pull out a Welsh flag and a set of golf clubs imo
5 winners medals.....

Utterly disrespected at that club

The best British export we have had

Absolutely baffling how people want a British team to fail

And are actively wanting a Spanish team to win

You aren't real fans and shouldn't be saying this. Probably the same people crying when we lost to Italy in the final of the euros.

Very odd behaviour tbh

Jamie Carragher.
“This Real Madrid team will not win the champions league, absolutely no chance to win the champions league”

Michael Owen: “Liverpool could genuinely blow away Real Madrid tomorrow. My prediction is 3-1 or 3-0.”

TBF to Owen, if Courtois doesn't have one of those nights, that is a 3 or 4-1 game.

He did though.

That sums the game up well enough.
Liverpool do have a problem (albeit that most other clubs have much bigger problems) when it comes to a packed defence and Real Madrid, contrary to their historical record of playing free-flowing, attacking football, played like an Italian side of old under an old Italian manager.
I think it is because of the intricacy of the passing which has to be perfect to succeed that lets them down however, just as with Barcelona and City the top clubs tend to just keep playing the same way as for most of the time in the end it works-on rare occasions it doesn't..

Last night Real Madrid often had 2 defenders on the wide players of Liverpool Salah, Diaz and Mane which meant that none of them could get a one-on-one run which they are so good at.
Courtois was clearly bitter about how he was allowed to leave Chelsea and he made it clear in his interview that he felt that he had made his point which he surely did...and some.

If I were a spin doctor I would be saying that but for 2 keepers in Karius and Courtois Liverpool might now be 8 times winners.

So, not a bad season for arguably (Michael Owen might have struggled to expand his view) the best team in Europe with 2 domestic cup wins and 1 point behind the league winners in what is thought to be the most competitive domestic football in world football and then runners-up in the top non-domestic cup competition in world football.

All-in-all an ok season that almost every club in football would bite their hand off for.

Surely if true, there has been some kind of criminal offense committed

Agreed, I mean Liverpool fans are so proud of their association with this country.

[BROB0T]

I'll support all British teams bar LFC and Rangers

[South Coast Royal]

Sometimes on here it seems as though posters are more concerned about other clubs' fans than what happens on a football pitch-the quality of debate on matches and performances is poorer than BBC, BT and Sky combined IMHO.

It's a bit short notice to get a flight to Madrid-even Ancelotti expressed disbelief after the game that they had actually won.

Unfortunately, (perhaps) this is what football rivalry is about

Utd had to rely on City & RM beating you and Brighton beating West Ham as we've had such a shite season

But who cares, I'm genuinely delighted the 'mentality monsters' got beat!

You are a traitor to the queen and to the flag

Fortunately for you this topic does also include the Europe League but yours is a very odd answer to my post which was to do with the big and successful teams in Europe this season.

Those Liverpool lads love the Queen.

Supporting or not supporting a club has absolutely fvck all to do with what country you come from particularly these days when clubs are made up of players from all over the world.

If a British club makes a semi final or final and plays a foreign team, I'd always want the British team do well and win

Same with Any sport

Actively supporting another team or country is oxf*rd baffling and quite frankly pathetic behavior
