Supporting for Barca beating Liverpool so messi can equalise CR7 balloon record. Besides Liverpool fans are getting annoying.

As much as I’m rooting for English teams, I don’t want Liverpool to win anything because their fans will annoy us for the next 15 years. At the same time I hate Barcelona

I like you cormack, but I don’t like Liverpool fans. I’ll still take them over Spuds, Chelsea, United and City fans though

It's ok. I've travelled Europe with our fans. We hardly cover ourselves in glory. 'lovable scamp's we are not'.

Nothing wrong with Ole. Players are all shocking, they don’t handle pressure well at all. Entire front line too inconsistent, no width, poor defence. Miss Herrera and Shaw. Telling that the moment they have something to fight towards, their heads drop. I’m not willing to throw Ole under the bus yet. Can’t blame the manager every time, the players need to fight too.

Arsenal have been so damn bipolar this season. It's infuriating! They need to get their shit together and finish top four or win Europa league. Making Champion's League is a must for improving the roster next year. Without that money Kroenke won't spend enough and without that draw the players we need won't be interested in joining.

The inconsistency is unreal! Who saw us play against Napoli won’t believe that we got shat on by Wolves! We need to make it to the champions league for fuck sake! Also fuck Kroenke! What a cunt

You probably will, at expense of United who I think will beat Chelsea this weekend. I knew arsenal would drop points, but I think you are capable of gritting your teeth and winning the last few games.

My quick opinions on Arsenal.. You’ll miss Ramsey a lot. And sell mercenary Ozil. He is not what you should build around, you’re lacking real leadership and Ozil is pretty much in his own little dream land. I think he is the opposite of what you should be relying on.

Agreed on Ozil but not on Ramsey. The only good thing about Ramsey is that he plays every game 100% but at the same time he kills many many great plays with his selfishness or trying to backheel every ball. Torreira is waaaay better and effective for me

As a Barça fan, really happy to see how in the same day, we won LaLiga and also the female team classified for the final of the Champions.

3-0 is like not good enough, barca looks old weak af now. Liverpool season could be over in 7 days, lets get them out.

Thank god we beat Valencia 3-1. That third goal was needed! Hopefully we go to Spain confident like today. COYG!
 
One of the greatest games of football I’ve ever seen. Liverpool played in a way I’ve never seen before. Something transcendent. Just watch the game again between the two Wijnaldum goals. It’s like they’re a colony of ants swarming a discarded apple core or something.

Arsenal and Man Utd could do with watching that game. That’s how you play for a badge and the fans.

Liverpool thoroughly deserve to go through.
When you have players that are willing to play for the badge this will happen

Haha i knew this shit will happen. Today barca is old and broken, over rely on messi. The old barca will have out pass Liverpool to cover their weak defense.

Spanish league era is over, old fucks and all.
 
That was epic! Since the first leg ended I was telling my buddies something like this could very possibly happen, as that result didn't reflect at all what happened on the pitch.

Back in September, who would tell you'd have Liverpool vs Ajax/Tottenham on the UCL Final?

I support Man Utd so I don’t watch much Liverpool, hardly any at all. I’ll tune in if I think they might get a beating. So I naturally watched yesterday so I could see all the scousers with their hands over their faces. With all of that being very true, Liverpool are capable of earning my respect. They did against Milan when they last won the CL. A friend told me that they were 3-0 down at half time so being all smug I watched the 2nd half. Finished that game wide eyed and clapping Liverpool.

Last night was one of their best. It’s so important to get the first goal in good time. Liverpool closed space so well and Barca didn’t get the opportunity to create great chances. Whoever gets the next goal at 1-0 has a huge sway on the game, Liverpool worked so hard to earn that 2-0 score line. After that, Barca had a real mentality shift and Liverpool took advantage for the whole rest of the game.

I think the 2nd half against Milan is still the highlight, It was a final, and they needed desperate change all in 45 minutes. But you really couldn’t ask for a better memory of your teams passion than that final against Milan. Last night almost matches that, and that’s amazing.

Liverpool are on their way to having a fortress at Anfield. FML!
 
This year's edition is just fucking crazy hahaha. Ajax shit the bed as much as barca yesterday.

These matches are the reason why footballis best sport in the world.

Fucking hell Ajax! What a stupid coach!
You saw them pressing just go and defend you mug!

Fuck spuds, let’s go Liverpool!
 
Why do people don't like Tottenham? :messenger_grinning_smiling:

People treat it like it would be the worst thing to happen if they won the UCL

It’s just silly Arsenil fans who hate Tottenham. Most other football supporters like Tottenham and some even as a second team they’d follow.
Nobody likes the spuds apart from the spuds. Go away just a bit of banter don’t take it seriously
 
These semi-finals were something for the ages. Imagine yourself in the shoes of an Ajax fan... winning 2-0 at half-time, after having won the first match for 1-0. It's done, no way in hell this final isn't yours! And then... SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
On the other hand, imagine yourself being a Spurs fan. Even if somehow you didn't have a heart attack after that ending against City, how the fuck does your heart survive last night's match?
Hope they prove me wrong, but after these crazy semi-finals, the final will probably be boring and end 0-0, being decided on a penalty shootout.

There's also a very good chance that both European competitions have a final with 2 English teams facing each other.
