I watched the final in a room full of Liverpool (and United) supporters, with only a few Real fans and me and a mate as blues supporting Real for the day. Many of those Liverpool supporters had been giving me no end of mouth about our losses to them this season, especially the CL exit, for the past few months. They completely ignored our league accomplishments and were convinced they would win the CL and our record-breaking season would then be a mere footnote (which, to be fair, would probably have been the case with the media). I had been giving it back throughout, but I was outnumbered then and yesterday.
You can imagine how happy I was when that Bale goal went in. The room went completely silent, and then the four of us supporting Real went mad. Then Karius made the other howler and we starting started chanting “Oh, Loris Karius, Oh, Loris Karius, he’s a legend, he’s a legend”, at which point several of the Liverpool supporters left.
The day could not have finished better.
