Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

On a side note that Rudiger is a horrible little snide ****. Dirty fucking bastard. One of the dirtiest players out there.

I'm not, it was a penalty.

If you read my inital post, not taking anything away from Chelsea, not blaming the ref for others in the game (i never mentione a red card btw). They defended well and took the chance. We didnt take ours early on, couldnt make anythi g happen after.

The Penalty was a penalty though. I'm sure. it hit his hand, which was away from the body. That is a penalty. As I said, may have made no differnce in the end, but VAR shat the bed.

well sorry dude the well trained, impartial refs decided it wasnt and they know more rules than you who is incredibly biased

You don’t need a Champions League winners medal to spot a dreadful team selection. Honestly, you don’t. Same way we don’t need to have been an MP to criticise the government. Anyone knocking Pep is spot on. His team selection was appalling.

This..... its no coincidence the majority of fans was pissed off before the ball was fucking kicked. I'm so pissed off that he didn't just play our normal team.

No shame in losing to a great side like Chelsea.

A more concerning issue is Pep becoming Tuchel’s woman.

They didnt win 19 of their league games and finished 6 points above Arsenal ffs.

"Great side".

Probably best when we know how they play not to tickle their bollocks then. The managers performance in Europe has been wank. Tonight and against Lyon can only be described as ineptitude.

We have been beaten 3 times by the 4th best team in England, once in a champions league final, once on the fa cup semi final, we have been knocked out by Lyon.

Throw in Monaco spurs and Liverpool who were all below us in standard. That is a piss poor record. In Europe he is a poor manager. The only question is how important the champions league is. His stature is being harmed by this shit and our players are suffering from the decisions he makes.

Very similat to the piss can at old T, great domestic manager but did not do it in europe

With a neutral ref we pick our best team and win that but when you go into a game knowing you can't tackle you start off on the back foot.
Maybe we over thought the referee and we were very hesitant to put a foot in although the times that we did generally ended up with a freekick to Chelsea. We were basically a bit naive in terms of European Football, we need to learn that any kind of contact means fall over and scream, tackles aren't allowed and play acting is king. I'd rather we didn't play that way but we did OK against a million pound Burnley tonight, we didn't play our best but neither did they.
As.Ben Chilwell said, they knew the key to the game was to be aggressive in the tackle, they knew 100% they would be allowed to be aggressive, we didn't. This is European Football.

Uefa please ban us again

I am going to swallow this and say Chelsea deserved it. Two flaws tonight as I saw it, was Pep's arrogant selection and Sterling's performance.

What game were you watching where you picked out Sterling's performance as shit? Come on man. Ive been on his case all season but he was our best player in the first half (not saying a lot). The tactics were wrong as you said and our players (KDB, Mahrez who was particularly dreadful, Walker first half) were bad.

Nice words from Mount

Why do I always know how our games will end up after 10 mins.
At no point did I feel confident we'd score one nevermind more.
