Revenge

 

[Live in the Now]

Well I got what I wanted.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Blood Money Trifecta completed, time to make Lebron James cry.

 

[Savant]

Well I got what I wanted.

It’s what I wanted too but have to be careful what we wish for too. Madrid definitely can win this game too, but I also truly believe that Liverpool is the best team in the world right now.

Revenge

Salah wants it bad. Was telling everyone that would listen last night.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Who's more unstoppable? Salah? Or Benzema?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Benzema.

 

[gary69]

So, Gareth Bale to score the winner from a Benzema pass?

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Benzema is the best player in the world and is way better than Salah.

6 UCL knockout games

Salah (vs crap teams Inter, Benfica, Villarreal): 1 goal, 2 assists

Benzema (vs the best teams PSG, Chelsea, city): 10 goals, 1 assist

Who is better

 

[Savant]

Who's more unstoppable? Salah? Or Benzema?

This is Benzema’s individual season. But that’s fine. Fair play to Benzema.

So, Gareth Bale to score the winner from a Benzema pass?

Hopefully Alisson doesn’t get concussed and left in. This is a much better team than it was in 17/18

 

[koyvoo]

Give him two balon dors for all I care. The final is a different thing altogether.

 

[Power Man]

Liverpool just don’t score first, you’ll be fine

 

[Eye of Ra]

Camvinga from start, Real wins.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Camvinga from start, Real wins.

Yeah, Carlo needs to move away from CMK and start Camavinga over Kroos or Casemiro.

 

[Power Man]

Carlo will start Casemiro Modric and Kroos in the Final

He will rest them in La Liga

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Carlo will start Casemiro Modric and Kroos in the Final

He will rest them in La Liga

Of course that is what he will do, but he probably should not.

 

[Live in the Now]

Our team other than one position is already locked in barring injury. Alisson, TAA, VVD, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Diaz, Mane, Salah. But the second CB spot I dunno yet. Konate and Matip have both been great, I'm glad I don't have to pick. Henderson will be there to cover Vinicius Jr so that TAA doesn't have to play further back.

 

[Rob]

I voted for Liverpool but fate will probably prove me wrong.

 

[robertmac43]

Going with Real Madrid for the win. No offense to Liverpool but I don't want another trophy going to a top 6 rival....

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I already handled 3 come backs... Please Liverpool give me ONE day of joy...

 

[Islesfan22]

Of course that is what he will do, but he probably should not.

I would start Cammavinga over Kroos. Modric has been excellent this season and I trust he has another great game in him.

 

[Live in the Now]

I love him running head on into the narrative instead of hiding from it.

Liverpool/RM is the only three time final by the way

 

[Savant]

Since the bench cut off:

Mignolet (should have been subbed on after Karius got hit in the head)
Nat Clyne (woof)
Ragnar Klavan (Matip injured)
Alberto Moreno (2021 Europa League winner over Man Utd)
Adam Lallana (had to come on out of position because Sturridge was on loan at West Brom)
Emre Can (not missed)
Dom Solanke (found his form in the Championship)

Team is exponentially better this time around.

[Chimaera]

It is a different squad. Some changes for both.

But I would not put it past Madrid either. Some crafty folks in that side, and Benzema is not human in this run.

Liverpool should be the favorite, but they will need a lot of luck and injuries can still play a part. Liverpool have a bunch of games that matter. Real can just play backups.
