Derry Alli Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Just now, throbber said: I’m not giving you the convincingly part, you turned it off after Firminhos goal as you clearly thought the tie was over by that point. Yep, I did. The funny thing with football is it only takes a minute (or three in this case) for a tie to swing back and Atleti then picked Liverpool apart at will, scoring another two. The best teams in Europe don't lose so badly over two legs - see Barcelona last season. Flukes happen. This wasn't a fluke, folk saw it coming for weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn't a fluke, folk saw it coming for weeks.Well it took an individual mistake from Adrian to completely spin the tie on its head then the next 2 goals were counter attacks from when Liverpool had no choice but to throw the kitchen sink in. Other than that the tie was tighter than a submarines door.Hope Atleti do go on to win it this year though and you are proved correct. Hated seeing them lose to Real both times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it was tight. One team managed to hold their nerve and capatalise on mistakes, one never. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Liverpool, Bayern, PSG, Juve. They're the best teams in Europe right now, Man City on their day too if they have a good defensive day. You can argue in whatever order. Barca and Real having transitional seasons, both will be very strong next year. Mbappe and Pogba will be at Real next season. Atleti also are halfway through a major rebuild, will be ready next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDP Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I think it is important to remember just how glorious Liverpool getting papped out was. The seethe after the first leg, "welcome to Anfield", Robertson raging, the second leg, Llorente's goals, Morata's celebration, Klopp's tears, Michael Owen, the weeks long breakdowns on liverpool twitter and Llorente trollong by naming his dog Anfield. Hard for me to say what was the best part. I'm sure we can all agree that it was beautiful though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could watch the Morata goal and subsequent celebration a thousand times in a row and not get tired of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
