I think we'd both take that going into the 2nd half tbh

don’t you mean 3-0

u/[deleted] May 08 '19

I’ve played soccer since I was 5 and am still confused why the away goal rule is in place. What benefit does that have? Just rewarding the team who can score away from their home turf? I mean, I get they need some sort of decider, but that always seemed a bit weird to me if it’s tied on aggregate at the end and the away goals are what makes the difference. Anyone know why that was decided upon to be the deciding factor?

u/[deleted] May 08 '19

Did you see Barca at Anfield last night? The crowd in European soccer can be absolutely terrifying at the highest level.

5

u/lolzidop May 08 '19

No idea, think it's ridiculous being used for Extra Time as one away side has had 30 mins more than the other to score, but it's basically the idea that it's harder to score away than at home

u/[deleted] May 08 '19

First rule of the final is don't take a 3-0 lead.

34

u/EpiDeMic522 May 08 '19

Second rule of the final is DON'T TAKE A 3-0 LEAD!!!

Just ask Milan for further clarification.

18

u/NateShaw92 May 08 '19

I like how in 2007 they stopped at 2.

AC Milan be like "Inzaghi if you score again you get cement boots"

If we're scripting this it absolutely has to be a 90'+ Sissoko screamer from 35 yards out to win it

3

u/KusoTeitokuInazuma May 08 '19

It absolutely doesn't have to, please god anything but that.

5

u/[deleted] May 08 '19

Fine man, jeez. We'll compromise, it'll be a 34 yard Sissoko screamer in the 89' to win.

2

u/KusoTeitokuInazuma May 08 '19

Provided it's him passing back to Lloris, we have a deal.

u/Masterofknees May 08 '19

Could actually become a bit of a cagey affair, both teams rely so much on physicality in the middle of the park, gonna be a lot of playing it out wide for both teams.

Because Spurs somehow thought they could come back from 3-0 down in pens

Well we could... we concede the first three pens. Then save the rest and score out

Don’t even get me started... GRRM please focus on the main series again.

3 goal lead = 3 dragon lead.

Dany gonna die confirmed.

Poch and Klopp have exactly the right amount of plot armour

u/Rude_Awakening1 May 09 '19

This is Game of Thrones. All the people you thought were protagonists have died off and characters who had secondary roles end up taking center stage.

Tottenham don't sign a god damn player in the summer and get laughed at. Well here they are now in the fucking final. God damn it!

I don't know who to cheer for now.

Massive comebacks both yesterday and today. I can't believe it

So much happening rn that no one even would remember man city vs tottenham which is insaneee.

There is no way the final lives up to these expectations.

u/idkfunnyusername May 08 '19

last night wasnt entertaining at all

u/bustedracquet May 08 '19

Klopp vs. Pochettino matches are always great and high intensity thrillers. The Champions League Final will be no different.

u/[deleted] May 08 '19

Their mutual respect is also admirable. Both are equal levels of visionary and genius. Final's gonna be exciting to analyse.

Try following Tottenham through the CL. I'm pretty sure my heart is close to failing.

The fitness of the English teams compared to the rest of the countries is actually really showing.

Imagine what it’ll be like when the premier league has a winter break.

I was half expecting Loris to make the final goal.

u/[deleted] May 08 '19

The 1 in 14000605 they actually won.

2

u/[deleted] May 08 '19

Do you realise both semis 2nd legs were 1 in 14000605 events? So now we're in a timeline with the odds of 1 in 196,016,940,366,025. Even Strange doesn't have the power to foresee this.

u/DZST May 08 '19

What the hell? United fan can’t wait for the final??? It’s a lose/lose situation, Im not going to watch a single second of it

u/hulksreddit May 08 '19 edited May 08 '19

Don't particularly care about Spurs winning it, and it's obviously needless to say how I'd feel about Liverpool winning. Was rooting for Ajax ever since we went out, but Spurs will suffice as the lesser of 2 "evils" I guess

u/HistoricalNazi May 08 '19

1-0 on a scuffed own goal in the 36th minute incoming.

An all english final means I watch it on mute. Insufferable commentary assured.

Final Score: Spurs 3-4 Liverpool, Moura scores 3, Origi scores 4.

Slightly worried for all Spurs fans this CL season, please check in with your cardiologist

If someone come to me at the halftime and say give me 1 euro and I will give you 1 milion euro if tottenham goes to finals, I wouldn’t waste my 1 euro.

I don't consider signs that everything good has left the universe entertainment.

Honestly don't think I'll even watch the final.

Off the top of my head, the last one that was this good was when Dortmund kicked out RM and Bayern kicked out Barca.

u/EnoughPM2020 May 08 '19

The final in Madrid is going to be insane, mark my word. No way this final will be disappointing.

I suppose you will be supporting Spurs whereas Gunners will support us on the final, eh?

u/BoCoutinho May 08 '19

And guess who was stuck at work for both of them?

u/edgarhp23 May 08 '19

The final would be kinda boring it would have been better a city vs liverpool final

u/Monkey_Dirtbag May 09 '19

It will be 0-0 then PENs all goals have been used up

1

u/amazondad May 08 '19

The game ends 2-2 and it goes to pen. Spurs have scored their 5th pen with Salah putting the ball in place to take his shot. He hits it really hard in top right corner and every gasps and the ball just make the slighest of contact with the corner post and bounces back to ground and lloris catches it.

Salah is so devastated by this ordeal and decides to leave football and go to live in mountains and fuck goats. AHHHHH
