stevie's tears are juicy
First of all the real didn’t score with just scraps!!!!! They scored with a legitimate goal… it didn’t come from a poor pass from the keeper to result in a goal! And secondly they defended well and managed to build a play from the back that resulted in a nice well built goal. Hala Madrid well done!
Lmao steve really wanted to cry ???
100 shots doesn't win you a match, 1 goal does . Hala Madrid
10:14 Mbappe just got rekt ?????
What’s Stevie talking about? 40 of the fist 45 mins Liverpool had possession in Madrid’s half? Really? By the 72 min the possession was 52% to 48% in Madrid’s favor. It changed to 54% in favor of Liverpool by the end cause of desperation mode by Liverpool.
How many years has Real Madrid made these ESPN pundits eat crow over and over again? It’s hilarious every time ?
These guys should apologize to Real Madrid…
Hala Madrid yNada Na mas
Nice job guys?
I did not know I was in a spelling bee contest. You darn well know what I mean you childish thing you, GROW UP!
Winning is part of Real's DNA, they are one of the few teams that can win big games and big trophies by not always being the "better" team.
The build up for Real's goal was world class. Stevie must not have paid attention to it because they played through the press. The possession started from the back by Mendy from the left side, played all the way to the right wing, and finished in the left side by Vini.
If u are a Barcelona fan and wanted Liverpool to win the ucl then u must be out of ya mind. La liga rules. Best league in the world.
They're lucky Real Madrid doesn't play in the Premier Legue
They would be champions 10 times in a row
Real Madrid 3
Premier Ligue 0
?????????????? Big facts
23:42 Liverpool Biased ?
Facts!
Liverpool is good but when it comes to the champions league final Madrid hv always had an invisible 12th man on the pitch never did I think Liverpool would win
¿Sabía que a los veteranos y descendientes negros de la Segunda Guerra Mundial TODAVÍA no se les permiten los beneficios de la factura GI? ¿Te imaginas enseñar la Segunda Guerra Mundial y GI Bill y no mencionar que 1 millón de veteranos negros fueron excluidos? Hay un proyecto de ley en la Cámara y el Senado para cambiar esto. Authentic CRT busca descubrir y remediar estas desigualdades causadas por el racismo sistémico…..
Pointless analysis.
Steve Nicol was a great player but he's so arrogant, he thinks he's Lionel Messi or something… the other announcers are pretty good and fair.
These are absurd comments by the analysts/cretins. The score of a game tells you what you are. Let's make it simple for these envious dullards. Imagine it's a horse race and your horse Borstal Boy is leading the race for the first 75% of the race but then a second horse Real Madrid charges into first place and wins it going away. Real Madrid won and Borstal didn't, Simple as that-get it?
Mr. Steve was always arrogant, disrespectful to, and said Real Madrid profited from 2nd legs to progress over PSG, Chelsea and Man City, and that they can't survive Liverpool as it is just one leg affair.
Truly, there was no need for a comeback because Liverpool aren't good enough to even score a goal. Funny thing is Liverpool are overhyped as a high energy pressing side who will overrun the Madrid aged midfield trio of Modric Kroos and Casimero, yet unlike in the previous rounds where Madrid had to sub them during the game to bring youthful players like Camavinga to help them, these supposed aged trio weren't even subbed vs Liverpool, barring an 89th minute sub of Modric when the match and trophy were long won by Madrid. So much for energy. Shame.
Liverpool were the easiest team for Madrid to beat. They were easily predictable: press hard to win the ball, play diagonal passes to wide areas near the byline, lay it back for the full backs for a one-time cross into the box for in-behind runners or pass the ball around a bit for the opposition to come forward a bit and then send the ball long aerially for their fast 3 forwards to run in-behind the defenders. That's all. Hardly any dynamism.
Madrid, like Chelsea, Tottenham and Villareal (until the the goalie's errors and their self implosion) knew this. The aged midfield trio, with their experience, and together with their defence, managed the energetic Liverpool, stayed compact, did not give rooms for in-behind runners, grew into the game and played around to get pass the counter-pressing of the reds. And it must be said that it was from one of these passages of plays to get pass the counter-pressing that eventually brought the goal.
From the ever composed and reliant Modric, who got away from 3 Liverpool players press deep into his own half, in-field to Carvajal, who went to the right side, yet again under press from 3 reds' players, gave a pass to Casemiro close to the centre line, then to Velverde after 7 reds have been taken out with just 3 sweet passes. It's now 3 vs 3 – Velverde, Benzema and Vini Jnr. vs VVD, Konate and TAA. From Velverde to Vini Jnr. Its a GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL
Full time: LIV 0 – 1 MAR.
Real Madrid, UCL CHAMPIONS!!!
came down to, experience of knowing how to win big games.
Being able to decipher the correct tactical approach to a game to produce a result AND execute it successfully is the sign of a mature team. It didn't make for a more fun, open final game to watch but this was what Madrid felt was the best chance to win and it worked. At the end of the day, you can hate on Madrid if you want to but the resume speaks for itself. PSG, Chelsea, Man City, and Liverpool….by rights they should not have even been there and yet… It was the best CL run I've ever seen. Congrats to Real Madrid!!
Too big for your boots ? ???real is real why is it surprise they won
Steve is a sore loser!
Unbelievable how this diaz guy is overrated ?
That’s just the way it is. Things will always be the sammmmmmmeeeeer
Arrogant, biased, and always butthurt English pundits ?
Stevie's disrespect towards Real even AFTER they beat Liverpool and won the ucl is incomprehensible
