killthenet Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Gutted for Salah and Carvajal, both dead certs for their nations who are major doubts now for the World Cup. Going to be interesting to see how the game plays out now, Liverpool won't be as effective going forward but neither will Madrid after their injury. 1-0 written all over it?

Emerald Emblem Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Ball in the Liverpool net, but offside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 That was an odd offside call. Ronaldo looked a margin offside (but I’ve seen plenty of linesmen give it the other way), but it looks like the linesman was giving it for Benzema being offside (who very clearly wasn’t, being in-line with Ronaldo when he heads it). That really could’ve gone either way. Best save I think I’ve ever seen Karius make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Madrid starting to come into the game now. Cheeky goal before half time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Odd game so far. Liverpool started better, but Salah’s injury and subsequent substitution swung it in Madrid’s favour, at least until Carvajal got injured and came off too. Became a bit of a scramble before the last few minutes, when Madrid were clearly in the ascendency. Can’t think of a final in recent years like this, where the half-time team talks are set up to have a massive effect on the game for both sides.

Julius Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Think I might be a few minutes ahead, guys... That’s the greatest blunder I think I’ve ever seen in football, period.

Fierce_LiNk Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Well, that's Klopp in the transfer market this summer looking for a keeper. 100%. It's long been said that neither Mignolet nor Karius are top class keepers, and it's the one real area of weakness for the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karius rolled the ball about a yard into Benzema’s path, who only had to redirect the ball - such was the force of Karius’ roll - into the back of the net. And then you equalised through Mané.

Benzema is fairly close to him. Both players on the edge of the box. Karius then throws the ball out and Benzema sticks his leg out...the ball hits Benzema's leg and it goes in. Proper howler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Of course Karius’ howler comes after I praise him for the finest save I’ve ever seen him make towards the end of the first half. If Klopp really wants a German GK that badly, why not go after the likes of Timo Horn or Bernd Leno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
