Real Madrid v Liverpool | Champions League Final (May 26th, 2018)

They are also squaring up against the weakest RM in many years.
Madrid will grow stonger as the game goes on. Liverpool have the intensity and tempo but I'm banking on Madrid's superiority in defence and midfield to seize the game post the first half hour.
 
So what do Madrid fans usually say? Haven't supported them before. So far i've only come up with "Ronnie! Ooh Isco Isco! And Karim Benzemaaa but they failed to sign de Geaaa"
 
liverpool got the foot on real's neck at the moment :nervous:

I know Ronaldo got this though
 
I know it’s only been 10 mins but it’s literally all Liverpool atm anyone reckon they can keep this up?
 
They aren't lucky at all. They've battered every team they've faced

They barely scraped by the group stages against some of the weakest teams in the tournament. When your group consists of Sevilla, Moskva and Maribor, and you win three games in six, you haven't exactly steamrolled your way through. They had the second lowest point tally of all group winners bar Roma who were grouped with Chelsea and Atletico.

They've played well, though, but getting such easy opponents every step of the way except for City is unbelievably lucky.

The team that wins deserves it, but when you get the most fortunate draw nearly every time, you were lucky.

Reminds me of the beginning of the 2009 final v Barca. Question is if Madrid can establish control like they did.
 
Real will slowly take over and score. You don’t mess with them in those games. They know what they’re doing.
 
That's what they need to keep doing. Just beat their press by hoofing it and go for the second ball.
 
If Madrid score in first 30 they will win. If it's Liverpool, i fear the worst.

Weakest RM in years but they won the last 2 CL's and are in the final despite the hardest run in possible.... right. They're inconsistent in games but they're all match winners and they all are excellent at managing situations and adapting. It's why they've gotten this far 3 years in a row.
 
Real looks like the inexperienced side
 
Relax people, klopp is playing directly into Madrid hands, Madrid will score soon enough.
 
It looks like none of Liverpools’s rivals managers took the time to watch our games against them.
We completely nullified them, time and time again.

Not everyone can play like Mourinho. Especially Real, sitting back is absolutely not in their DNA and their players won't likely obey the manager if he tells them to.
 
What's this shite ? Real Madrid playing like a Sunday league team so far.
