Well done to Real Madrid, a fantastic achievement to win 3 CL titles on the bounce, might never see that happen again.
Well done to our team, fantastic achievement in reaching last nights final, no real need for anyone to reproach themselves, not even Karius, who Im sure is feeling worse than anyone else this morning, but we win as a team, we lose as a team, so for me, the lad need support, rather than vilification today, and going forward.
We like to talk about never walking alone, so today some might need to think about that, before they start lambasting the lad.
Im sure some might say the fans who paid out all that money, and travelled far and wide to get to Kiev might also be feeling pretty bad, but theres no guarantees in football, so we take it on the chin and move on.
Sad to see Mo go off injured, and our only thought now should be to hope he can get fit to represent his country.
As for some of the reaction to Ramos, yes it was a foul, but I doubt he had the intention of seriously injuring Salah, so its a little off to be demonising him as an individual.
And finally bravo to Gareth Bale, what a goal that was, worthy of winning any trophy, and fitting, albeit unfortunately for us, that it should be scored in a game like that last night.
Really enjoyed watching the team this season, so once again, well done to them, we now look forward to next season, and more of the same, with hopefully a trophy to show for it somewhere along the line.
YNWA.
On reflection.

Salah has been the best player in the world this season, losing him so early on last night was a major blow but I was gutted at how the team responded to the set back.

Very subjective statement to make.
Can think of at least 3 players who have been better and won things namely
Messi
Ronaldo
David Silva
But that’s just my opinion anyway

It's not about winning things, it's about being the best player and Salah has been. Scored and assisted more than any of those listed in what we are constantly told is a vastly inferior side.

Pool players left Karius to walk alone

================
To say David Silva had a better season than Salah, is laughable.
The other two, no real argument there.

Messi scored more than Salah.
Actually, if you look at all competitions then so did Ronaldo (50v48)

Good article, jlou.
Liverpool were a credit to themselves. Would be no surprise to see you back at the deep end of the CL soon given the way you've approached this year's competition and the reinforcements you're bringing/looking to bring in.
Some clubs just have it in their DNA. Liverpool's European Cup pedigree is beyond doubt.
Fwiw, I think last night was possibly the end of an era for Madrid. Replacing a generation of proven winners like this is going to be a very tall order.
The PL sides, generally speaking, have acquitted themselves very well this year, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them take it a step further next season.
