    Well guys so far this is a very poor game, spoilt by the semi finals thinking this would be a continuation of those games :(.

    The utterly crap, athletics stadium (worse than watching City play Rotherham at the Don Valley athletics arena) and only a few fans from each club, is creating a ‘dull as dishwater’ final.

    The camera angle is bizarre, even the missus commented on it and she hardly watches football. Anyway, I've turned it off now, might turn it back on if it gets to extra-time (which looks quite likely at the moment).

    I guess it is due to the athletics stadium being so wide, there is nowhere to site the camera closer to the actual pitch.

    Well it's certainly been far better the second half.

    Certainly wont be extra time now!

    Strange game, very strange atmosphere.

    All English finals take the edge off for me too

    Hate stadiums with an athletics track. Awful atmosphere with no mental fans going nuts and being loud because of the distance, cost and difficulty of travel. Empty seats in a final is a disgrace for this level of competition.

    For a cup final it was a bloody good second half, some cracking goals scored.
    Not quite up to the standard of the champ league semi's but then that is a hard ask.

    All English euro cup finals have come a long way since chelsea v man u in russia.
    ps Ozil, deary me,did this guy even play tonight?

    At last something to cheer me up. Liverpool European Champion League 2019 winners. Not a good match overall, but the sign of a good team is being able to win despite not being at their best. Well done lads.

    It was a strange game all around, if it was the heat it's understandable think we were spoilt with the semi finals, those games both Liverpool and Sours had to give there all as they were losing by big margins.

    Klopp himself said after the game that the player's tank was empty, nothing left to give.

    Kane was pretty awful, wouldn't start him for England but heigh ho.

    Useless facts, Liverpool 6 euro cups now,BUT also 3 uefa/europa cups and 3 euro super cups.
    Very impressive.

    Plus, first British club to win a european trophy?
    Spuds, the euro cup winners in 1963, well fancy that.

    The break between the end of the premier league season and the cup finals has real spoilt them both IMO. It’s been around 3 weeks since the domestic season ended for these players so it’s no surprise they looked way off the usual pace in both European finals. Lucky for them that it was against English opposition otherwise they would have struggled against other teams who had league games much more recently.

    The Champions League final was a huge anti-climax for the neutral. It just seemed like a bog standard league match. I am sure it would have been far better with an English club versus a European club in the final. Hope we never see an all English final again, it takes the gloss of it for me
