Liverpool v Real Madrid. Match thread

[Des Parrot]

The commentary team including an ex ref suggests it was ruled offside because the ball, though it came off a Liverpool player, was not actually passed deliberately hence offside. That's a new one on me and it seems the ex pros on the commentary team are equally baffled.

That’s 100% correct, same as a deflection or unintentional back pass to the keeper.

But it was a Liverpool player who played it onto his knee.

Unintentionally apparently. Bullshit

[Wales-Bales]

Interesting tactics so far, Liverpool in control, but I'm expecting to see something from Venicius Jr against the run of play.

Boom!

Anyone else think that goal was coming, Liverpool have been toothless after the first fifteen minutes.

I'd credit Ancelotti for defending deep and negating the initial Liverpool pressure.

Yep...cannot see them coming back in this one....

Their not done yet, but Real have the better tactical options from the bench. (Rodrygo, Camavinga).

Yes, Ancelotti goes under the radar somewhat in this country, but his CV is as impressive as anyones.

Alexander Arnold continues to be a liability.

If it wasn't for Courtois though it could have been so different.

Has to be one of the greatest ever goalkeeping performances? Superb.

He's been awful

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Since Nigel Spink 40 years ago.

[Wales-Bales]

Camavinga is a real talent and one to watch, he's got everything in his locker.

[The Bloop]

Anyone else looking to see if Bale is joining in the celebrations?

[splott parker]

[Wales-Bales]

Hope he shows it off on his City debut.

[fugsyphil]

Zero goals scored in 3 Cup finals isn't a good stat

[splott parker]

Hope he shows it off on his City debut.
