True everyone wants Real Madrid to fail
They were happy when Real were in a CL slumber and United were getting cakewalk draws and Barcelona were diving to victory. They thought they’d finally rid themselves of the Kings of Europe. When we came back and started making semis with Mou they laughed at us because Barcelona were the darlings of football.
The world fell silent when Ramos rose to meet Modric’s corner on 92 minutes in Portugal on that fateful night. You could hear a pin drop when Marcelo, Di Maria and Isco ran riot in extra time. They knew we were back and they’ve been hating in silence since.
Atletico was whipping European ass for fun for 4 years straight and only we could stop them. They smacked Barcelona so bad Barcelona had to avoid them to win the CL. They trampled over Bayern but we stood strong and knocked them out. Where’s our respect?
The Juve game which had zero legitimate controversies(except Isco’s goal really) was used by the media and opposing fans as an opportunity to cry foul. Now we’re painted as a villain. A King hated for reclaiming his throne.
They are now going as far as to discredit a trophy we haven’t even won yet. If Liverpool wins it will be because the match was fair but we dare not win lest we be accused of rigging the final in some way.
I was easy about this final initially but the more I hear these suckers talk the more I want Real Madrid to be in the final 3 more consecutive times after this. I want us to win until they call it the "Coupe De Los Merengues". I want us to win until teams don’t wanna play anymore because we’re always winning it. I want us to win until they change the rules and say the defending champions can only field 10 players and have 1 substitute on the bench. I want us to win until the other leagues make a European XI and include players from South American leagues and make a new competition where they can compete and we’ll beat them down and win it as well. I want us to win so much they’ll ban Zidane from coaching and he’ll become a football guru living in the mountains and Pep and Mou and Klopp take sabbaticals to go and learn from him.
I don’t even want a big score line. I want to win by the scapiest own goal of all time where the ball has to cross the line 3 times before it’s confirmed a goal.
Miguel Vale you are the best ..... I love this comment like food .... Haters hala Madrid
It’s very true people just want Madrid to lose and don’t even give them credit
Miguel Vale got goose bumps reading this shit
And then Real Madrid get knocked out by Ajax in the round of 16 lol. They'll also get knocked out this season. Great comment, but what you're saying is what's happening with Liverpool right now.
@@advenco344 where is Liverpool right now?
I am here after 3 years... Good old days❤️
The thing with real Madrid is that they don't need to be the best team on the day to win because a team can have 70% of the ball and more shots but yet real Madrid will still win not a lot of teams can do that plus the experience they have
david milwood liverpool do that all the time
Itz T Obey They choked yesterday. Liverpool isn't invincible.
yes spurs beat u 3-1 lol.. ahaha
They pay the referee to win ucl every year
Madrid is a team that does not usually do best against English sides.
These guys would be throwing a party if Barcelona was in the finals.
truu
Exactly
I don't get what you mean. Isn't this an English media?
Shervin Seil Sepour their favorite holiday destination
The Truth agree
i know Liverpool is good this season in the UCL.............
Never underestimate Real Madrid because Real never give up......Real is the best team
Jaheim Botha can’t wait to see Mo Salah rip Marcelo to shreds
Rich Hawkes still waiting mate
Rich Hawkes hahahahahhahhaahah
Win, lose or tie, Madrid till I die.
Your business lol
Bhavishya Gogoi
Win or lose, Barca till I die
Bhavishya Gogoi 🔥😉
Madrid till ronaldo go away
Same
If Roma was in the final it would be 100% Real 0%Roma
Apparently RM has already won the UCL🔥🔥
#HalaMadrid👌👌
PS:they had beaten all the elite teams(juventus,psg,bayern) on europe this season soo are most deserving also👍👍
Iron Man
The most luckiest you mean.
I want RM to win especially Ronaldo toget his 6 ball' dor, but Liverpool has a good chance of winning. I can't wait for this game.
superman4ever1986
Overrated player dont deserve to get the 6th balloon d or. His ego and arrogance will be too much if he wins it. He will call himself the greatest of all time for no reason.
Ok ok R.Madrid 6- 8 Liverpool
@@sdm50 shhhhhhhhh
Real Madrid have not been in their best season league wise, but UCL is a whole other animal. Real Madrid have been TESTED this UCL season. They took a loss to the spurs, had a difficult group stage match up. And they went on to beat the French Champions, the Italian champions, and the German champions. Liverpool has had it... well, less difficult. With Man city as the exception. Liverpool beat Man city, which are the English league champions. If Madrid beat them they would have successfully beaten the world's top league teams.
juan Ramires
Got lucky with juventus and bayern. They were better team than them. Real madrid is the most luckiest team i had ever seen. They cant be lucky everytime.
SD M I appreciate your opinion but I disagree. Real Madrid was the better team in the first Juventus game and the second Juventus got their shit together. And I do believe Bayern was the better team, but Real was just more efficient. It's been 3 years that Real have taken out Bayern.
juan Ramires
We will see in the finals which team is the best. Luck or hardwork.
juan Ramires
I forgot to mention one thing.
Real madrid always underperformed against english teams. Keep that in mind.
SD M you're not wrong! Spurs were the only team to beat them this season and in the Bernabeu they tied. Definitely something to be worried
2 of my favorite teams playing in champions league lol I dreamed of this since I was a child but never thought it would happen
It happened back in 1981, but I guess you weren't born then mate.
Which one Will u support
I have bad news for you. One of them is gonna lose.
It's happening again. Hala madrid
Why does this matchup feels like a super bowl 52. clearly real madrid is a heavy favorite and liverpool is the underdog in this match. hopefully liverpool have some of that eagle's underdog magic!!!!
1990Thunderbolt I think that you know only real Madrid in your life, move your mind and see elsewhere. . . Liverpool are the most creative attack existed in Europe rite now. . They put city down at multiple series which if you don't know, city are on the top of list considering goals. I resune, shut the fuck up and wait for the finals. . . .
most of their goals come from counter attacks.they rely too much on their front three players.zidane knows to how to play against teams like atm,juve,psg,liverpool.
1990Thunderbolt super what? Get out of here lol
Yvan Delgado de la flor you live under a rock or something?
Dhan Ashvin I agree that Liverpool should be respected as a rival....but Liverpool was almost knocked out by ROMA. Real Madrid survived against Bayern...one of the best 4 teams in Europe. With their defense and mid...Liverpool is gonna concede at least 2-3 goals. Their goalie can't save them, but Keylor has saved Madrid before.
Wonder if Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane will be fasting for Ramadan the days leading up to and the day of the champions league final!
They'll be hungry for goals not food
2 or 3 hours before the game will be iftar.
Bitaal Sadiq Well they’re Muslim so of course they will be. But no doubt the nutritionist at Liverpool will find ways to make sure they are full of energy before the final
Ogopa iftar in Ukraine is estimated to be about 50 minutes before kickoff
Steve Gerrard very difficult thing to do. They have to fast for around 16 hours a day before the game. Regardless of their nutritionist, they’re going to break their fast about 50 mins before kickoff so they’re gonna be really dehydrated. Gonna be hard to get all their carbs and get hydrated properly in 50 mins
When is it
Stevie N, humble and not bias 👍🏽
About 2 years ago I'd say liverpool has no chance of winning against real madrid but now I have a lot of faith in Liverpool and know they will put such a fight that that actually might beat the recently clumsy real madrid. Come may 26th 2018 , the city of madrid and Spain will be silenced for a really long time. #ynwa ❤🔻🔴🔴🔴 #england #liverpool #salah
Amen.
well i am a real madrid fan but good luck to both teams and may the best win
what is the SPI?
People keep saying Liverpool didn't play good last night but they forgot we've bn playing with the same team for how many months
They are humans,they bound to be tired but come may 26 it will be fresh legs for both teams but I can assure u lfc will give all
yeah both teams will give it their all
Liverpool played 10 games while Chelsea 7, that's an issue.Only blind couldn't see that they were tired.
Liverpool are a hole different story in the champions league wait and see
Real Madrid is vulnerable in the air and that is not where Liverpool is strong at. They have no chance.
Liverpool fans will recreate something like the Anfeild atmosphere. That's how passionate we are!! Don't forget Istanbul.
If experience is everything then France would not have beaten Brazil in the 98 WC final
and Liverpool would not have won in 2005.
If experience is everything then Greece would not have won Euro 2004.
Experience is important but it's a one-off match - anything can happen.
Excellent comment!
sera un emocionante,pero creo que el real Madrid esafortunado y final
I think that this game will be decided on who has a better offensive capacity. Both teams had troubles this season defensively. I think Madrid has better starters, but they have not impressed throughout the year. They have conceded to many goals. If Real wants to win, they should dominate the midfield, which they can. If Liverpool wants to win they need to overwhelm Madrid's defensive line, which they can. It all comes down to who scores more. What I predict is that the game will not go scoreless to any side.
Why everyone saying Madrid is gonna win easily? I guess they are the better team but that's what everyone was saying about Barcelona vs Roma & Man City Vs Liverpool and look what happened! Madrid might have the upperhand but this tournament has been full of surprises!
Guillermo Cabrales It's a final though. It's close to impossible to beat RM in a final because of their experience in them and their all around world class squad. If not ask Farza that has lost 4 of their last 5 finals vs RM in this last decade! And that says a lot because Farza and RM are usually top 3 teams every year and Farza tends to push RM to the limit! But I think the main reason Liverpool will lose is because of the midfield, because RM has the best midfield on the planet and Liverpool's midfield is close to amateur.
This game is going to be a thriller. 4-3 or something like that
I feel it's a 50-50 between the 2 of them.
I'm a Real Madrid Fan
#HalaMadrid❤️ #APorLa13
all players of liverpoll have great pace but madrid is more technical so chance is still 50-50...
if you are betting on this match then choose mane ronaldo salah isco ramos marcelo karius van djik
Ronaldo vs Dejan Lovren .... .... still....we have Salah, Mane and Firmino and each of them need to score twice against Madrid so cover the defensive frailties. Klopp has good European history though, so it’s a game of who wants this more?
liverpool is going to absolutely steam roll them. the commentary was the same before man city. this has just the same feeling
The thing is in second leg liverpool got there ass beat 4 - 2 but still won. Liverpool losing in second leg drom away goals. (7 - 6) in total. Real madrid had to face a team worse then roma. Bayern is more competitive then roma. Liverpool couldnt beat bayern if they had the guts to. Real madrid don't care about any other game but the quarter, semi, classico, and the champions league. When its time to play like champs thats what real madrid will do. Liverpool don't know how real madrid can get.
Who knows if they’ll be playing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” this 2018 summer in the Liverpool vs Man. City game in New Jersey for the International Champions Cup??? If they do, I’ll go! 😍
Even the possible "IF" Liv lose the battle, stil their journey story more interesting more than anything. YNWA
What is the date of champions league final.please anyone.
May 26th buddy
Munna Mazumder may 26 2018
Will be exhilarating game. Will be a high scoring close game. 3-2 Madrid, but could for sure see Liverpool winning this.
These guys are talking about experience all the time. Experience is not the only key to winning. If it is, a team should be made of older guys and they can win everything.
Liverpool fan here, but it's a 50-50 contest imo. I do think that Liverpool can win it and tear Real apart but on the other hand Real have a chance as well.
I'll be pulling for Liverpool but Real is just way to deep. NAVAS vs Karius not even close. Real midfield should own the game. I pull for Real in LaLiga so it will be cool to see a 3 peat. But just maybe Liverpool can pull out a miracle.
Maybe the 4 goals conceded today is a blessing in disguise for Liverpool coz Madrid might under prepare for us
What you mean under prepare? This is their last chance for a trophy, plus they are playing for a 3rd UCL in a row, they know they can't waste this
I am real mandred big fan but winning chance Liverpool attacking amazing pley salah femeno mane
I like Liverpool but all this Liverpool hype will be put to rest on May 26th a midfield of Milner, Henderson, and Wijnaldum won't stop Real Madrid from winning the Champions League AGAIN, you look at their bench Klavan, Moreno, Ings, Solanke, Woodburn and Mignolet Lmaooooooooo, Liverpool depend so much on wing play with Mane and Salah playing Asensio and Lucas adds a couple of bodies and no one beats the high press as good as Real Madrid look at Real Madrid's first goal against Bayern yesterday Bayern high pressing Real Madrid breaking through patiently and scoring Real Madrid will win the 13th regroup in the summer and spend big Real Madrid is only getting started.
Ai Youngboy As much as I would like for Liverpool to win, you're right. Real Madrid is a whole different animal, this will be one of the easiest finals they'll get in the champions league.
No, my picture isn't moving easiest? I think that's a bit harsh but yeah I see your point Liverpool are great attacking wise but this Real Madrid team have quality and above all else experience these players know how it feels to play a Champions League final these players know how to win a Champions League final Real Madrid never crack under pressure #HalaMadrid
they said that before man city, if ur looking at it on paper, yeah, real madrid have an extremely high chance, but u cant count lfc out of anything, there is a reason why there's so much hype, because throughout liverpools european era, they've always been the underdogs
Rio Syah Akbar I'm not going based on paper Real Madrid won't play a open game as Manchester City did, Casemiro and Isco will be back its easy Real Madrid can go with the diamond formation or if Zidane wants wing coverage Lucas and Asensio will start, Liverpool aren't underdogs I've seen the Liverpool fan base say they'll tear Real Madrid up this isn't Porto, Roma or Manchester City, Real Madrid will not play to Liverpool's strengths experience is the key here Real Madrid never crack under pressure the 13th is coming back home.
Ai Youngboy Liverpool are the only team to get hype performance rather just name
i love how everyone picks on liverpools midfield, like bro we beat city who had fuckin de bruyan, david silva and gundogan you think we cant beat your overrated midfield.
Madrid always find a way to win, so I say Madrid. Salah alone can't win this finals. Bayern was the strongest opponent.
Frank Hernandez salah did fuck all yesterday
Yes, just like 93. min against Juventus.They just always find a way right?YNWA
Deven Singh He didn't need to.
Bill Kat my point is liverpool doesn't rely on salah.
The same way RM doesn't rely on Ronaldo and Barca doesn't rely on Messi lol
Final game will be simply a free fight while luck will play a more crucial role. Real Madrid is upper hand on the final game but simply go there and fight and see what happen.
As much as I want Liverpool to win, I really don’t think their defense could hold Real :/ and Reals defense is world class along with Nava’s form
Ucl final should have 1st-2nd legs started next season because it will be fairly for both team reaching final.Who's aggree with me???
Rahim Sharif dumb idea
Thats not how a final works
Madrid, Madrid, Madrid Hala Madrid!
Eu moro no Brasil :
mas eu sou HALA MADRID
Real Madrid é o campeão.
Liverpool , midfield will be hard to handle , people have been talking about the front 3 , but the 3 in the middle , irrespective of who is playing , be hendo can milner Wijni Ox , everyone can work hard and run around them like crazy and cause trouble.
Firmino are the most dangerous threat for Real midfield and defend. They never experienced false 9/10 like him! They gonna runs riot in Real midfield. Its gonna be a lot goals in this games!
Kevaughn Green Firmino doesn't work like Messi false 9. He's more like no.8 and 10 but in the same time he run forward to score! No other striker or no 9 play like him in this world!
Real madrid played PSG, Juve, and Bayern. Liverpool played Porto. Take your pick.
Vincenzo Di Giuseppantonio amazing!! Liverpool only had to play one team to get to the final! Why did Real have to play 3?
Lol Liverpool played Porto. The idiot leaves out the Premier League champions that we destroyed 5-1 on aggregate and Roma that came back from 3-0 down to kick out Barcelona from the champions league. Ok
Vincenzo Di Giuseppantonio
They played against the best team in the world( City ) and the comeback kings ( Roma ) you dumbass.
Vincenzo Di Giuseppantonio
Juve and bayern could have won against madrid but they got so lucky and escaped. They are the most luckiest team i had ever seen. Always remember that they wont be lucky everytime they play.
real madrid needs the title more
Real Madrid will be too well drilled on Champions Cup finals. Liverpool will lose the ball to shit passing and bad through balls to Salah and Mane because of all the pressure to score you watch this pretzel performance from Liverpool.
Liverpool has already played better teams than Real Madrid, Tottenham, Manchester city
Steven Kauzeni LOOOOL you fking clown, PSG, JUVENTUS AND BAYERN would shit on those teams
Steven Kauzeni: LOOOOL, wtf are you talking about
Zamaric PSG Juventus And Bayern couldn’t shit on Real Madrid though.
I swear Steve Nicole sounds exactly like Geoffrey Boycott (Cricketer).
You must be tone deaf then mate. Nicole is Scot's and Boycott is your classic Yorkshire man. Their accents are nothing alike.
SMC01ful Are you trying to show off your wikipedia skills? lol..
imagine the scenes if Liverpool win the Champions League in Kiev
Finals are won by experience... unless they are won by by a fantastic Liverpool...
That, of course, unless the referee creates false penalty kicks and / or sends players out.
The last 10 minutes of the first half, and the first 10 minutes of the second one, are when experience weighs most.
Every person has the first step to reach something, Real madrid is the best team Yes, and they have experience Yes, for ten years or more now since we beat the best team at that time, we will beat the best team again, to beat the best team you don't need money, referee or an experienced player but you need courage to finish what you start,you need power to pursuit you need spirit to fulfill because we are coming to play for our family, our fans our hearts. This is Liverpool
Ale Moreno is good!
My dream came true man
Since 2009 champions league
COYR!!!!
The story is written for liverpool and klopp..just like 2005 Istanbul..the magic is in the air..we play the most exciting and attractive football..we score the most goals..score 3 and we are scoring 4..simple as that..Salah is a better scorer then Ronaldo at this current moment..ronaldo does not hav a firmino or mane..liverpool's counter attack is much more lethal then Madrids..Madrid will be defending for the most part..liverpool plays much more beautiful football then Madrid..super fucking faxxxxxx
How is a team who's playing a 4th final in 5 years the underdog ??????????
REAL I KNOW WE CAN DO IT BOYS
Madrid three in a row
Indeed can't believe we have such an easy team to play against in this year's final lool. Should be like 5-0 or something.
op jou gevreet moer
need more salt
Flop will lose t three finals .D
kingrobinho777 lol even real madrid lost to spurs . I dont think it will be easy. #ynwa
Real Madrid will win it. as a liverpool fan this is sad, but Klopp is just clueless when it comes against spanish teams, and also in finals.
Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla has beaten Klopps team.
History favours liverpool......they were the last team to beat madrid in the Ucl final(1981)
TEJAS CHINTALA how TF does that got to do with anything
You weren't even born in 1981 you clown 😂
Most of the players that are gonna play in this final weren't even born on 1981 😂. So I don't see how this gives Liverpool any advantage.
RmRW R what if history repeats itself?
TEJAS CHINTALA yea... That was before real madrid didn't have... Marcelo, ronaldo, ramos, benzema, isco, asensio, modric, and more
65 % Real and 35% Liverpool..
Tottenham Hotspur beat them 3-1 and Liverpool could destroy them 4-0. But because of the defend issue and Ronaldo caliber Real could make a come back in the 2nd half. It could end 4-3 or more
History repeats itself
I would like Liverpool to win but Real won't let this happen.
I thought it was going to be Barcelona vs Real Madrid in the final
The key to this game is experience and depth. In this regard RM have more of both than we do. It's a one off game, but it's RM's game to lose. I live in hope and I am determined to try and enjoy the game either way. It could well be a crazy freaking game.
It'll be 2-2 after the first 90. Real will win in Extra Time
What’s spi
I am from nepal guys I think this year also real madrid win
I remember when we were paired with city everyone thought liverpool was gonna be knocked out... We are going to shock madrid..its gonna be a huge margin like 5-2
🤣🤣🤣🤣
AC Milan Vs Liverpool?
Liverpool will feel nervous and won't be able to concentrate
HALA MADRID
If bayern or barca was in final, I say liverpool cause their center backs are so slow but real madrid has Ramos and Varane... I say Liverpool is gonna struggle little bit but I feel like liverpool is gonna win
SangOh Kim boi then why do you have a real madrid logo as your channel
Dumb ass
Liverpool e capeão
Liverpool stopped City's run in the league and will stop Madrid run in the Champions League.
M J xDDD that must be the funniest joke I’ve ever heard XDD thanks
I don't think liverpool will survive real madrid .....and i blv madrid won't hv any pressure on de 26 may
Lol really? There's no doubt Real are the favourite to win but they also conceded goals! Spurs destroy Madrid in group stages 3-1 and Liverpool pressing are more deadlier than Spurs! Liverpool could easily scores 3-0 to 5-0 against Real but with Ronaldo reputation in final stages Real could comeback with 2 or 3 goals!
at least for the Liverpool players to have the opportunity to have a look at how champions league final is...But the cup? the rest is another history. SAY NO TO MADRID HATERS !!!! GOOO SPAIN GOOOO LALIGA GO MADRID GOOOO RONALDO.
Ally is a big Barcelona supporter and clearly wants Real to lose
How is liver pool got a 46 percent chance? I hate Madrid but this will be a one sided match.
b 88 you will see liverpool will win I hope so because I hate Madrid but I think liverpool will win
b 88 lfc are winning it 3-1. Easily
Milner, Henderson, and Wijnaldum vs Kroos, Modric, Isco.... nothing else needs to be said.
kingrobinho777 exactly, Henderson milner wijnaldum are better than those overrated lots.
Deven Singh 😴
Can LFC fans recreate Anfield in Kiev.... You're not serious bro?! Course we can, Istanbul... HELLLLLOOO!!
We cheer our team on to entertain... Madrid fans sit there waiting to be entertained. 6X's!
That game could work as some sort of reverse psychology. Everyone knows that won’t be the same Liverpool that plays real in the final. I think real will just about win it but it will be close.
Liverpool I think my opinion
Sorry , but i can see madrid destroying liverpool in the midfield. Liverpool dont have that pedigree in the midfeild. It works against smaller UCL teams and EPL teams but against the big3 they know what u will do.
If Spurs can beat Real Madrid, even with a free one given to Madrid from the Ref....
The same thing will happen the last time Real played Liverpool in a European cup final. Liverpool will beat them again and lift the European cup again
Lol
Mohammed salah vs christino Ronaldo
Abrar Husain n winner King Of Football..Cr7..#AporLa13🏆🏆🏆
All these BS about the "know-how", I say Liv will win 3:1
There's NO WAY this Real Madrid side Can go to Porto and Score 5 nil against them!!!
LIVERPOOL will take it 💪
Liverpool you ll never walk alone the best forever
Gana real madrid😘😘😘
Liverpool have no experience
