Verratti and Thiago had the ability and talent to be all time greats. Anyone who has watched them play knows this. Their talent and potential was on a different level.

Wirtz-Macca-Gravenberch incoming. The forum isn't ready for that midfield. :mou:

What does a "ball control merchant" mean?

Bayern 2010 were a possession based LVG team. Mourinho just let them have the ball and organised an airtight defensive unit. He went long to Milito and Sneijder and co won every second ball and countered ruthlessly. Bayern had all the ball but were never in the tie. Inter controlled the game...

I was surprised at the total lack of dark arts and tactical fouling by Inter. If you're trying to shithouse the game do it properly. There was no playacting or provoking the opponents. No plan to win the second balls. Atleast stink up the place and break the flow of the game! FWIW, smash and...

Inzaghi's biggest mistake was that he believed he could make this game a cagey affair. He should have planned a more open game. But can't blame him because normally CL finals are cagey af. The defense didn't seem motivated enough.

I still don't think PSG will be CL contenders next season. Something about the CBs doesn't seem very convincing.

Their defense was ridiculously good in the group stages.

That is the greatest goal the CL has ever seen.

The Bale error was straight in his hands at the most comfortable height possible. It was standard GK practice.

The next Iniesta?

Can't say deserved when you win because of 2 gifted goals. Ramos would have been sent off in the VAR era.

Forget the better team argument. Karius literally gifted them 2 goals. Not even poor goalkeeping but just straight up gifted it to them.

Ramos injured Salah and Karius literally gifted them 2 goals. It would be 1-1 on a normal day.

RM played some nice football but they were primarily a counter attacking team in the CL. It's not terrible football but pretty average for the most part. Inter's Inzaghi has played nice football many times before. You don't need to be a total football machine to win the CL.

Still a 5 at the back team with similar tactics, principles and gameplay to that of Inter. Madrid are easy to dominate but tough to get results against. Kante absolutely annihilating KCM singlehandedly in both the legs certainly helped.

True. I'll take it as a positive that we were so shit in that tie but still only lost on pens.

Rattled by a Porque joke now. You love to see it! :lol: :araujo: :dembele:

Yeah except Micah is actually likeable. :lol:
