Champions League 2023-2024

Just knew it, don’t take your chances you get punished RM winning does my head in big time

It's remarkable how football has become so boring. Don't think the game has been in a more dire position.

Financial heft wins out in the biggest competitions, institutionalized corruption, World Cups being held in vacuous oil hell holes, state owned football clubs, Rio Ferdinand doing punditry...

It really is a sh*t show. Here's to another vintage season of club football.

It has always...and will always be about putting the ball in the net. Dortmund had their chances, and if you don't take them then you you can't complain about the result. Madrid were sh*te but as is often the case........ lucky.

Can't stand real Madrid and so to see them do to Dortmund what they did to us is quite deflating. Things just seem to go their way when they need it. I don't think it's part of a masterplan, more just experience and luck. Outplayed for most of the game but still pick up the trophy. One doesn't usually flow so often from the other but for Madrid it does.

Aye pretty dull stuff. I enjoyed our league Cup win more than I normally would knowing in today's landscape even winning that is difficult.

They are the most clinical time in world football over the last decade.

Whereas we (and other teams) screw up 4 or even 5 on 1 situations, they seem to always score from the fewest chances possible.

If Liverpool ever play Madrid in a final again, Klopp can't watch!

Our team of 2019. 2021 beats these two easily

This is possibly true. Although our 2007 team was arguably better than our 2005 team.

Last two finals, Courtois can stretch about 15 feet which helps.

Same thing from RM feels like every F***ing year. Play sh*t, keeper keeps you in it, score, win.

And not just in the final, all through the tournament. They robbed City and Bayern as well. Ridiculous how many times they've won the CL with smash and grab performances.

Obviously having 4 or 5 world class players helps. You can get away with a lot. But it is a bit depressing. Knew it was going to happen as well. Every chance Dortmund missed just cranked up the sense of inevitability. Really would like to see somebody tear them a new one in a final, burst their entitled balloon.

cu*ts!

We were the favourites before the game in Paris. Completely outplayed Madrid and still lost. Never got over it.

I"d still put down everything that happened outside as playing a factor in our defeat

So the showcase club football fixture came and went without ever getting close to being a hard fought contest. In truth the match was poor throughout with hardly a moment of drama. Dortmund getting positive press for just in truth having a go, though their having a go was only noticeable due to Madrid's lamentable torpor...stale corporate sporting drivel at its predictable worse.

Groundhog day.

A story anyone could've written before the final began.
