Boring game but Liverpool definitely deserved a trophy this season after everything they've done so I'm happy for them

Pretty much. Can only imagine how much better it would've been if we'd gotten Ajax in the finals instead of Spurs

Well, that was just pathetic from spurs. I can’t believe after eliminating Mancity in one of the greatest Champions league games of all time and completing one of the most shocking comebacks in history, they barley even give up a fight?! Other than Son, the whole team was woeful. Well, congrats to Liverpool I guess... They deserved it a lot more.

Kinda happy Liverpool scores that second goal cuz if it had ended 1-0 over a 50/50 handball in the first fucking minute...this would definitely go down as the WORST CL Finals of ALL time!

Hell, it’s kinda amazing...Liverpool played in one of the GREATEST CL final of all time in 2005...now they played in one of the WORST...so yeah.

They got their #legendary game of this campaign in the semis instead so I guess that's what people will remember this time

Honestly most UCL finals end up being pretty forgettable so that's nothing particularly unusual really

I know this is NOT the trophy Many Liverpool fans wanted...but goddmmit I’m sorry, but THIS is the greatest honor in Club Soccer.

I’m still sad it’s not Barca lifting that beautiful trophy!

Congrats nonetheless tho...and I can only hope Barca will lift it in 2020.

That’s it for the 2018-19 season...I honestly want to forget this season, and look forward.

I mean the UCL is still the most prestigious trophy in club football no matter where you come from. That's just a simple fact. It's more so just that Liverpool have now won it twice since the last time they won the league so their fans probably need it more for that reason. Matter of perspective I guess

Congrats to my fellow arab boi Salah for winning the champions league and congrats to Liverpool. Highly deserved after all the efforts. Also, congrats to Klopp for his first well deserved UCL title. Liverpool are now the 3rd most successful team in UCL with 6 titles behind Milan (7) and Madrid (13). Once big, always big.

I honestly don't get it since I never see any of these mysterious so-called "insufferable Liverpool fans"

Maybe it's different in England, idk. Personally I find the people complaining about them a million times more annoying though

So basically first the ref gives Portugal a penalty, then goes to a check the VAR screen for an incident that happened at the other end of the field a minute earlier and instead overturns his decision to give Switzerland a penalty instead... a quiet soft one imo which was also converted

I'm honestly not sure I've seen that kind of development before

I know it's just the inaugural UEFA Nations League semifinal but I gotta say, that was an unbelievable hattrick from Ronaldo. The pass of the game was also from him with that Ronaldinho-isque one in front of Joao Felix. But the distance, the flight of the ball and the accuracy made it so much better than anything I have seen before.

I have checked so many post game analyses/ comments from pundits after the game and everyone is showering him with all the applauds, and probably rightly so. Maybe he will be back into contention of the FIFA Player of the Year if he does it again against the Netherlands/ England?

Unlikely. The Nations League is hardly the most prestigious tournament and these finals feel more like a bonus than anything. Compared to performances in league play and the UCL in the past season, the Nations League will not have much impact on who is chosen for the individual awards. Hell Ronaldo was only the 3rd best goal scorer in the Serie A this season and Juve only made the Ro8 in the UCL so I don't really see how he would win anything here. In my mind the individual awards will either go to Messi for being the top goalscorer in Europe once again and absolutely carrying Barca on his back more than ever before this season, or to Van Dijk for being the most important player in Liverpool's 97 point + UCL title campaign. Ronaldo can't really compete with either this season
