⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 winner - Real Madrid!

[naira]

We have to appreciate the Real Madrid goalkeeper this time, from all the Real Madrid players, the Real Madrid goalkeeper who was the most shining and contributed to bringing Real Madrid to victory.
This is a new history for world football, because it is the only team that has won the Champions League 14 times. I think it took decades to catch up with the titles that Real Madrid won.

Courtois deserves a MOTM in this match. He always breaks Liverpool's attack, that's incredible, if he didn't play that well, maybe Liverpool could have scored at least two goals or more. Mohammed Salah was frustrated by him, how his kicks always met the hands of Courtois. He is the player who is at fault for Liverpool's failure.

An achievement that deserves thumbs up where the contribution of a Courtois for 90 minutes he thwarted 9 dangerous kicks from Liverpool players. In fact, it was almost clear that M. Salah's mentality was down when he couldn't penetrate the Belgian goalkeeper's defense.

Real Madrid are truly grateful to Courtois for showing such a brilliant save. As a Real Madrid hero. If only the goalkeeper wasn't Courtois, maybe the goals created would be very easy for us to see.

Congratulation to Real Madrid for the massive victory they got yesterday from the champion league final. It has really showed that Real Madrid are the king of champion league for this season because they defeated Liverpool 1-0 to achieved the title and to informed other teams that they are well prepared for next year season. Liverpool coach has a lot of work to do to improve Liverpool against next season because their strikers really missed many opportunities in yesterday match that would have giving them victory.

Real Madrid is not an easy team to beat, especially if it's a final. It can be proven by how many times they made it to the final and the percentage -+90% they could win that match. It's incredible what Real Madrid have achieved since the start of the Champions League. And it is very difficult for other teams to match Real Madrid's title acquisition.

Real Madrid was just lucky. Liverpool would have won that match with a very high goal margin without the heroic performance of Thibaut Courtois. The match was against Liverpool Football club and Thibaut Courtois Football club. His nine saves in Stade de France yesterday gave Real Madrid the trophy. Real Madrid was not a fantastic team in that match and they couldn't create much chances but they maximized the few they had. I sensed that Liverpool might have to pay dearly for not scoring in that match. Congratulations to Real Madrid and also a big Kudos to the Liverpool team. Although they lost the cup but they have had a very successful season. Except Real Madrid reinforce its team with new young signings, I doubt if they can make it to the Champions league Semi-Finals with its current squad next season.

In the first half of the game,Madrid was more dominant in waiting than Liverpool, who always attacked. 20 minutes Early Liverpool dominant attack lead. and in the 30 minute Madrid began to counterattack until the first half was over. Although not much, Madrid attack began to reach Liverpool defense even in the 42 minute Benzema was able to frighten Alisson goal but was disallowed for offside. Madrid game was more open at the start of the second half and they started to have the ball and do bill up attacks. Vinicius goal in the 59 minute was the result of Madrid defensive tactic initiative early in the first half. Once again congratulations to Real Madrid for winning the Champions League this season.

Even though Liverpool had been pressing Real Madrid since the beginning of the game and did not let Real Madrid develop the game. Several chances
were created by Liverpool, but Thibaut Courtois played extraordinary by breaking one by one the chances that Liverpool got. Not many chances were
created by Real Madrid, even after Real Madrid managed to score a goal in the 59th minute, after that Liverpool increasingly aggressive in attack.
Courtois frustrates Liverpool players, making 9 important saves, so it is very worthy Courtois to be man of the match. Especially Mohamed Salah was
very frustrated several times his kick was successfully thwarted by Courtois, even Mohamed Salah's close-range shot in the 83rd minute could still be
thwarted by Courtois. Real Madrid's victory was due to Courtois's extraordinary appearance in that match. But it must be admitted that the mentality of
Real Madrid players is very strong, they can beat the 3 strongest Premier League teams, which is amazing.

It's too trivial to call Real Madrid lucky. Ancelotti plays the antithesis of Liverpool's tactics. Demonstrating that a small amount of momentum can beat the team that has the upper hand.
The great performance of Thibaut Courtois also did not fall from the sky. That, it must, go through a long training process. And the goalkeeper was also given a strategy by the coaching team, not just going down to the field.

[JeWay]

Their 5 finger pose which they did in a form of pride because they have been part of the success of Real Madrid, winning 5 times the Champions League is an achievement that is difficult for other players. After Benzema, Marcelo, Bale and others who have won the Champions League 5 times, it is very difficult for their successor at Real Madrid to be able to repeat the success that has been achieved by Real Madrid. The point of Real Madrid's success this time was thanks to the genius of Ancelotti. After Zidane's departure, Real Madrid's appearance improved again in the hands of Ancelotti.

Of course they are quite proud of the achievements they recorded during their career with real madrid because they have won the Champions League Trophy 5 times. Gareth Bale may choose to leave next season because he rarely gets playing minutes for Real Madrid. on the other hand the victory over liverpool last night was also very special for Ancelotti because he came to Real Madrid in the 2021/2022 season and immediately presented the Champions League Trophy.

Courtoi great performance was greatly appreciated for his extraordinary action saving 9 shots from Liverpool's attack, he became the most important part in Real Madrid's winning history. But overall the victory is inseparable from Ancelotti important strategy as a professional coach after winning the Champions League 4 times in his career as a football coach, predictions for the future as long as Ancelotti is still in charge will bring Real Madrid even better and stronger for the league next season.

[xzone]

Liverpool played better football this year, I wish they were champions. But Real Madrid's goalkeeper played with a very good performance. Courtois was the most important and critical player in winning this match
It doesn't matter how many positions you have or how many shots you take, the important thing is to score. Liverpool failed to score and therefore did not become champions.

[Gencecikmen]

Carlo Ancelotti is now the coach won the most champions league. He won 4 times champions league. Firstly congratulations to Ancelotti.

Fans of Real Madrid you have 14 Champions League trophies. Also congratulations to the fans and Real Madrid may your party be happy.

Yes, Liverpool's game was very good, even statistically they put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid, but Courtois' strength under the bar made many of Liverpool's chances of scoring goals disappear.  I can't imagine if the Real Madrid goalkeeper wasn't Courtois.  Liverpool are really unlucky!

Ancelloti achievement is quite extraordinary during  time  his coaching, his success in bringing the team to become champions is unquestionable, this season champions league became his fourth champions league trophy while surpassing the record held by Zinedine Zidane and Bob Paisley by winning 3 champions league trophies, his experience in training is a reason for madrid to be able to win the title this season, because if we compare the madrid and liverpool squads of course liverpool have a more qualified squad and even before the final started liverpool were the favorites to win the champions league, but ancelotti experience and expertise in setting a strategy by playing patiently in the final match made Madrid able to win its 14th Champions League this season.

Both Ancelotti and Real Madrid are beating records! This is the 14th Champions League trophy won by them with the 2nd team after them, Milan, had won 7, Bayern and Liverpool won 6, and 5 for Barcelona.
If you add the number of trophy of two clubs it will be still under what Real Madrid collected lol.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Firstly, a big congratulations to Real Madrid to have won the title ones more. It almost seems as though, once they see the trophy in a final, there isno stopping them from lifting it. You can see Marcelo coming off the bench as captain to lift the trophy for Real Madrid in a classy call goodbye display, very funny guy, lol...

What was that at the Karim Benzema's off-side goal. Football have got such analytical steps to its officiating and even the referee was confused in this one. Analysts states that, there have to be 2 players between a forward to be on side and this wasn't the case with Virgil to have moved past Benzema and kept him offside. The question was basically about the rebounded ball from Febinho. The referee's did good to have come by that decision.

It was an important moment for both teams and Real Madrid still came back to score another goal. History for Jnr Vini.

[_BlackStar]

Thank you to all the Liverpool fans who supported the team until the referee blew the long whistle. I need not express my disappointment after Liverpool failed to win the final against Real Madrid. Liverpool were playing better and tried to score but I am really frustrated that Courtois is so good at keeping the net clean. Of course there was disappointment on my part after the fact that Liverpool still failed to win the Champions League title from Real Madrid, but I have never been shy to congratulate Real Madrid for winning the Champions League title this season.

Forget it, once the game is over and Real Madrid is declared the winner then nothing else can be changed. Referee decisions are sometimes detrimental, but sometimes also beneficial.

I agree with this, I mean how can we call lucky a team when their players performed at their best just when they needed for that to be the case? This comes with great preparation, coaching and an absolute trust between the players, and all of those things have nothing to do with luck, we need to be honest with ourselves, Liverpool decided to go for every single cup they could win and their players could only play as they usually do during the first half of the match, after that Real Madrid beat them by just having a more rested team and superior stamina.

Real Madrid was very tactful in the final match. They Didn't make an attack too much. However, each of their attacks was very organized. Liverpool has attacked a lot. However, the Real Madrid defender and goalkeeper have been able to successfully repel all the attacks. I would say Liverpool has lost to Ancelotti's tactics in this match. Real Madrid is lucky because they are become champions.

Why would you imagine such, of course goalkeepers are part of a team and the exceptional ones do their job when they are called upon, i cannot understand people moaning that Courtois was the reason Madrid won, making it sound like negative stuff, even klopp said when the goalkeeper is the man of the match, then you know something was going wrong with the team, i really do not understand statements such as that, there have been times in the past were Alisson put up man of the match performances and he was praised by Klopp, why can't people just praise Courtois and move on.

Madrid played a good game, they were tactically strong and their midfielders were confident on the ball, their goalkeeper and defenders were very strong too and they got the all important goal, thus the victory was well deserved in my opinion.

Fans of Real Madrid you have 14 Champions League trophies. Also congratulations to the fans and Real Madrid may your party be happy.

It's in almost every newspaper I read today! Yes, Ancelotti set up a new record, and he is still in the game! Even now it will be hard for all others to catch up, and it's not the end! He can repeat this next year too! I will bet against that, now I was more for Liverpool, he can't win forever!

Thank you to all the Liverpool fans who supported the team until the referee blew the long whistle. I need not express my disappointment after Liverpool failed to win the final against Real Madrid.

I read today how Klopp said "book hotels for the next finals!"! I also think that Liverpool had a better game than Real, but that is football! After all, Liverpool had a great season and it will be good to watch them in the next season! I will bet on Klopp and his words, Liverpool can play the finals next year and win this if they continue to play like this!

[Zackgeno96]

Too bad it was a pretty boring final, but most had predicted that. Liverpool should have taken the lead in the first half, but Courtois has shown that he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world with his saves. Real Madrid should have made it 2-0 at the end of the game, but by then the game was already in stoppage time. Still a fairy tale for Madrid, as they were released with a fright against PSG and especially City. They have beaten 4 top teams, so definitely a deserved win.
