    Liverpool won 15 and drew 2 of their last 17 league games and dipped out by a point. Not sure there is too much else they could have done.

    To not score in 3 finals points to something lacking in the way Klopp is approaching them

    In the end slightly disappointing to have such a great season but only come away with the two trophies the big sides only really care about if they reach the semis.

    Could be worse though.

    Liverpool really lost the league earlier in the season when they gave City a gap. Their second half couldn't have been much better.

    @KiwiPie Losing to West Ham and Leicester - draws with Brighton and Brentford (3-3).

      Wow, very quiet here.

      Another night of glory for Real Madrid. 14 now, quite the record. Liverpool dominated the game but a MOTM perf from Courtois denied them the ball in the back of the net.

      2 opportunities for Real and they took both (one disallowed).

      Looks like major stadium mgmt issues, Liverpool fans seemingly the victims of poor Parisian management. Call me skeptical on that one.

      Anyway, 3 cup finals, zero goals scored but 2 victories. Seems Klopp still hasn’t quite got the cup final game plan sorted.

      On the flip side, Ancelotti wins his 4th. Best ever decision to leave Everton for RM?

        Not to mention the only manager to have won the league title in England, Germany, Italy, France & Spain

          Michael Owen said just after the final that "Liverpool are still the best team in Europe" - which I'm not sure I disagree with. I'd rather play City or Real Madrid than Liverpool, yet they hold the bigger trophies.

            Not sure I can get on board with that when they haven't win their league in a couple of years, and lost another champs league

            They are a very good and consistent team though.

              Best team in Europe?

              1. Lost a two goal lead to draw at Chelsea.

              2. Couldn’t force a win at home to Chelsea despite having a man advantage for the entire second half.

              3. Struggled against Spurs home and away. They were lucky to draw both.

              4. Drew both games with City. Had lead twice at Anfield.

              Klopp whinged about Courtois's man of the match performance.

                @canefan well somebody has to be.

                You can write similar lists for all others clubs too.

                Except perhaps Real.

                    He played a bit of football back in the day? Doesn't seem to project as one of the game's deep thinkers. But it's only football right? Lacks personality, that is the big thing

                          Liverpool 6/11 players …. And they came second? You’d have to conclude Klopp is shit then no?

                          Son …. Golden boot without a single penalty. Doesn’t make it.

                            @MajorRage It's voted on in March I think and it is voted on by players so they tend to pick without much thought. Ronaldo is the biggest outlier in that team of the year, how is he ahead of Son & Kane?

                              @dogmeat that doesn't come as a surprise to anyone remotely aware of the largely unfettered migration of African and Middle Eastern males into a country that doesn't share a culture, language and opportunities?

                                I guess that's what they do on their days off from touting junkie Eiffel tower replica ornaments

                                  Not sure where else to put this but I enjoyed the read

                                  I bought the EDEN PARK sign that was above the players tunnel for my brother when they demolished the old South Stand

                                    Surprised. No.
                                    Disappointed. Yes

                                        It seems more about how much you can pay players now rather than transfer fees given Fredericks (and Rothwell from Blackburn) have come in on frees. Forest have bought Awoniyi, a striker from Germany who I saw a bit on the Bundesliga highlights, built like a fridge.

                                        Meanwhile Gareth Bale looks like he is going to MLS and not Cardiff.
