Inter Milan (N) | Champions League Final | Post Match Thread

You know among all the euphoria and celebrations it’s easy to forget the ones who missed it.
I’ve just been reading some posts on FB and one lady said she cried because her Dad had been looking forward to the game and he died 3 weeks ago. So sad.
Another one said her Dad died 12 months ago and a lad was talking about his Dad who had been there for so many years and died a couple of years ago.

I hope they were all together celebrating in the stand with no name and looking down on us and the team with pride. RIP to all the Blues who went before our historic win.

And I think all those Dads were standing next to Dias last night, blowing the ball past the post because I’ve got no other idea how Dias managed to, in a nano-second and from point blank range, twist his neck to such an angle as to accurately direct the ball away from goal, other than the supernatural…
 
It hasn't really hit home yet. We actually did it.
I wouldn't begrudge another team winning the lottery either. If a fan can experience this once in a lifetime, I wouldn't object to it.

I really do object to certain other clubs and fanbases who really do believe they have a divine right to monopolise success.

I can’t say I really enjoyed it. I was sick to my stomach until the final whistle and that was our worst performance in Europe this year.
Buzzing now, though.

I didn’t enjoy the game either. Not even for our performance overall, just how the game went. It was painful.

Until that final whistle went and I was elated!

The game is a hard one to sum up, we felt the Italian vibes very very hard. I thought Inter were fantastic actually, they were lacking the quality to do us over but let's be honest, Lukaku fucked it up royally for them and we're looking at penalties.

We dug really deep, great effort all over the park and Eddie waits for the big one to pull out his biggest performance.

Nope, we’d have been looking at extra time

It felt very tense in the stadium to be fair. Inter’s understandable spoiling tactics were getting to players and fans, however, that feeling at the end. It felt very, very close to QPR for me.

To be honest, the Dias clearance was at least as good as Ederson's save. I initially thought it was an own goal, couldn't see how it hadn't gone in at that speed. Incredible reactions and must have been very close to the post.

At times like these you realise how intricately football is linked with family and memories of a certain time.

Last night reminded me of being at Wembley with my Dad for the Gillingham game, before his memory problems kicked in, and then being at my Dad's house with my lad for the Agueroooo moment which finally erasied the nagging feeling of guilt for having got him into supporting City and a potential life of disappointment. Also going right back to being a kid myself at Maine Road a myself when my dad took us in the era of Franny Lee, Colin Bell, Joe Royle and Rodney Marsh and Peter Barnes.

Football is part of your family and that's why geo politics and all the crap about sports-washing and 115 charges from fucking cheeky egotistical poncey Guardian journalists like Delooney mean absolutely bugger all to City fans. It's about family and it was great to hear Jack and Erling and the players talk about their families at that moment of triumph.

Who the heck is Alyson Rudd when they are at home? Ms/Mr Knownothing?





I genuinely don’t know but don’t fret Google is my friend! :-)

She’s a journalist who only started following football a few months before she became a football journalist. Bizarre job to go into when she had no interest in it before doing it and only repeats things she hears and reads from pro-Liverpool/United backgrounds. She writes like her sole research comes from Liverpool and United Wikipedia pages and you can tell she’s not a proper footy fan.
