Avoided knowing the result for two days and just watched the full match on DVR. So happy to see the team lift this trophy.
It was certainly earned. What a hard-fought match against I thought a very good team. I thought we deserved to win but again, nothing given to us in this one - Flamengo showed me some very good qualities.
On the penalty/VAR thing - has there been an official explanation? My guess is the communication on the screen about inside/outside the box as the reason for the review was incorrect? That it was really for the penalty decision altogether? I don't know how it becomes a drop ball, other than that the communication on the graphic as to the reason for the review was wrong.
I went with Jordan as MOTM but can understand Joe Gomez, who I'm delighted for. I wish I could vote for our fitness coach (is it Andreas?) because we are clearly fitter than our opponents at the end of matches, and it is making a difference in a record season. I also love how Jürgen has the team play in a way that brings out this fitness difference. Mentality is one part of all of our late goals this season, but it also comes down to sheer fitness. We wear teams down over the course of a match.
Hoping for the best for Ox...and Gini...and Dejan...and Joel...and Fabinho. Amazing our results considering how many top players we are missing. GREAT man management by Klopp through all of this.
World Champions!
