Milner would’ve been a better subKeita has been pretty awful since he came on.
Leaving Thiago on with one leg would have been better than either.Milner would’ve been a better sub
He was really, really good for the most part. Blowing on time is very continental European.Awful reffing
Courtois clear MOTM, Casemiro and Carvajal honorable mentions.That final was all about Courtois. He was spectacular and won Real that final.
I’m speaking only for the last few minutes. Thought he called it well during the rest of the game. Personally, thought Liverpool lost this by not scoring in first half.He was really, really good for the most part. Blowing on time is very continental European.
Carvajal should have been booked early and that would have made some difference I. Letting Diaz run at him. Vini Jr. also needed a simulation card.
Stole the match against City also. He was as good as I’ve ever seen a keeper in this runThat final was all about Courtois. He was spectacular and won Real that final.
In addition to the baseball games, Time Out as showing the game for free. Can't compete with that.I'm surprised FSG didn't sell tickets to a viewing party at Fenway
Was this Thierry or JW?"Late arriving fans" sounds like some bull. Henry said something about tear gas outside.

What a fucking clown show.From Melissa Reddy - eye witness account
https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/29/uefa-champions-league-final-the-real-story-of-the-carnage-liverpool-fans-faced-in-paris-16730799/From various reports, it looks like there was a somewhat significant sale of fake tickets to Liverpool supporters. It also looks like for whatever reason Liverpool fans were restricted to one entrance. It’s hard to see if the same was true on the Madrid side. UEFA clearly screwed up by allowing such limited access points and then confounded that error by blaming late arriving fans. Obviously a lot of info needs to come out still, but it is a really disappointing situation and one that could have led to much, much larger problems. I do feel for those fans stuck outside, regardless of the validity of their tickets. Just an unfortunate situation all around, and one that UEFA will need to answer for.
I’m trying to withhold judgement till the facts are out, but my gut is telling me this will look worse and worse for UEFA and the organizers. Given what we know, I’m a little surprised that things didn’t get more out of hand.https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/29/uefa-champions-league-final-the-real-story-of-the-carnage-liverpool-fans-faced-in-paris-16730799/
This is a good summary from a reporter on the scene, with further analysis in terms of the context of French policing lately. Honestly, it is an utter disgrace that a French government minister should parrot the official UEFA line here, and sickeningly reminiscent of how HMG responded to Hillsborough. Meanwhile all the usual sewer dwellers emerged to dig up the 'Always the victim' bullshit.
The main problem seems to have been the Madrid fans were entering the stadium via a wide open concourse - whereas the Liverpool fans were funnelled into a tiny entrance lined with cops and local rifraff (according to Reddy) trying to get in without tickets.I just don’t understand why the problems weren’t universal. There’s no reason for UEFA or Paris police to be out to get Liverpool. Why were Madrid fans able to enter without issue? Bad luck?
