No passion

I think he meant won champions league with a pub team?

How do they compare to Tottenham?
Son > Crespo
Kane (if not injured) > Sheva
Kaka > Alli
Seedorf > Winks
Gattuso = Sissoko
Eriksen = Pirlo
Nesta > Verthongen
Alderweireld > Stam
Rose = old Maldini
Trippier = old Cafu
Lloris > Dida

>classic comeback of a final instead of drab certainty

nothing can come close to the ecstasy of Istanbul la

Are you trying to start another world war, bro?

but most of these players, but even older, won the 2007 champions league

Why can't english team win CL finals "normally"?
2018 liverpool played like shit, terrified to play their usual game, almost let it slip to spurs
2012 chelsea getting bullied by bayern, hopefully for them robben missed his penalty minutes before the penalty shootouts, which chelsea won
2008 United WAS about to lose until they got saved by Terry slipping
2005 liverpool slipping early on and winning with penalty shootouts
1999 United miraculously equalize at the end of regular time and score the winning goal in injury time
1984 liverpool wins with penalty shootouts

damn, the 6 CL finals an PL club won 4 were won with penalty shootouts

Why can't French teams win it at all?

Go back further in history and you'll see nearly every CL/EC victory by an English team was based on hard defence/not conceding in the final. As i've said before, before Arseshit and Wonga lost the final in 2006 the record was:
>P12 W10
>won 7 times in 8 years
>5 (five) clean sheets in successive finals
Defence and mental strength wins finals most times

weaker and poorer clubs, not all leagues can be buying leagues, we're a selling leagues, from the start wearing high taxes anti debt shakles preventing growth.

Fucking zoomers

based

barca corrupted the sport, so many casuals, journalists and managers value the beautiful game over wins now

wow, how dare us produce exciting and enjoyable finals

except for 2018 obviously

>enjoyable
well I mean I can enjoy a tense with low product game but the majority of people don't.

I think you will find that most people will agree that the 1999, 2005, 2008 and 2012 finals were some of the best/memorable CL finals ever

2008 was only memorable for the slip

well the whole point of my original message was that it's been a while an english club hasn't won a CL final as pure dominators

Britain did produce an exciting 2018 final though?
2019 was shit.

so?

when was the last a french club won it at all?

and that's a good thing

it's an entertainment after all

if I want to see drab football I just go outside to watch the local lads

ah shit, i meant 2019

fucking hell i swear i'm going senile

omg you're so defensive lmao
cringe

still waiting for an answer

just asking a genuine question and all I got was you exposing your thin skin.

>no passion
>wasn't quirky
>didn't shadow box the crowd
>doesn't wear track

these are all reasons to like Benitez instead more than that cringe reddit faggot Klopp

still waiting...

To be clear i just meant only in the final. Many Brit teams were known for playing good attacking footy and not hoofball (Celtic, Utd, Liverpool and Forest)

oh btw maybe you could have blamed it on the foreign managers winning CL finals with PL clubs

blame a french team not winning it in over 25 years on foreign managers?

what the fuck are you on about?

He’s right, most of those players are overrated, Maldini was old and way past it then

I'm talking about my original question, why england teams "struggle" to win finals in convincing ways and I'm also referring you to my previous post to explain why french clubs are shit

>england teams "struggle" to win finals in convincing ways

see: 1968, 1984 and 2005

>1968, 1984 and 2005
two of those ended up with penalty shootouts. what's the point of your post?

Finals are often not great as a general rule in sport.

English teams play too many games in the season, injuries have built up and the people who are left are visibly knackered before the kick off. Liverpool's midfield last year is a good example.

Both Liverpool’s and tottenhams forwards looked shite this year other than origi, none of them could complete a pass

Rafa with money would've won us the league. he identified so many potential signings like David Villa and Dani Alves before they became superstars but the owners Moores and Parry couldn't back him up. then came the Hicks & Gillet.

>other than origi
Origi literally had the worst pass completion in the entire final

that was the point but spee is too retarded to catch sarcasm

why english clubs only have 5 cl's since 1990 despite being the richest of the top 5 leagues ?

You're just mad that you didn't play that match Kakha

the EPL should drop the boxing day

He managed to take his one cance though, mane/Salah/firmino weren’t any threat for most the game

Benitez >> Klopp. Give Rafa $450 mil to spend and he'd win the treble.

>didn't shadow box the crowd

Can you really say you love football if you dont do this?

Hahaha

please, we have already had so many of our traditions stripped away

>Eriksen = Pirlo
'no'

He had 3 shots in the Champions League semis and final and he scored all 3. Clinical. The front 3 had nothing to work with in the final because Liverpool changed tactics. They played hoofball, which Liverpool simply don't play. Both teams were just bypassing the midfield entirely and it stopped the front 3 of Liverpool from getting any service. Every chance Liverpool had came from a surging fullback run.

3 weeks between the end of the league and a CL final is bad for the body
