    A bad team beat an even worse team. Worst final in years.

    A bad game does not make a bad team.

    Hard to argue with that. Liverpool completely contained Spurs from start to finish.

    Feel sorry for Son. He's tried his heart out.

    Not good enough. Time for Poch to head for OT if he wants to play with the big boys. Spurs were happy to make that final. The semi was their final.

    Congrats to Liverpool. That was a hell of a season for ye. Commiserations to Spurs. That game will not live long in the memory though.

    Poch will be sickened but he will be very dangerous with a solid transfer budget. Won't be a two horse race for the PL next season. City, Tottenham and Liverpool at the top of their game. Long may it continue

    Terrible match.

    Both teams were very poor, but Liverpool took their chances when they had them.

    Congratulations.

    Predictable borefest. Liverpool were awful. They went a goal up early and then hoofed the ball to keep Spurs at arms length. Spurs who should never have been there but for outrageous luck v Man City and Ajax weren’t good enough to lay a glove on them. Desperate Final, one of the poorest ever.

    Strange strange final. The goal so early on warped the whole thing. Liverpool played a lot less football than they would have, were more defensive than they would have been, so a few of their players like Firmino, Wijnaldum, even Salah, didn't do that much. Even at 1-0 up, I thought they were surprisingly defensive and reluctant to counter considering their resources in attack. Defensively excellent though. Van Dijk was immense, and utterly calm as well. Matip did well, Fabinho too, as did both fullbacks.

    Spurs had a lot more of the game than they otherwise would, dominated most of the second half really, but didn't fashion even one real chance until about 15 minutes to go. which just isn't good enough. Kane, Alli, Eriksen were all poor up front.

    Disappointing final to be honest. For this neutral, my main thought is the question about what might have been, had the whole match not changed so early.

    Spurs and Pochetino deserve a serious amount of credit.

    Congrats pool.
    It was a terrible final. As someone earlier said a win is a win.

    Something that was said to me by a uefa official was that they hate the fact english teams get to the final I asked why and the whole feeling in Europe is that the quality of english teams are terrible compared to other european teams.

    English teams and most of the players are just not rated in europe been an eye opener to me.

    Turgid game. Pleased about that second goal if only for the fact that it would have been a shame to see a final decided by that joke penalty decision.

    Even as a Utd fan I can't begrudge Liverpool that win. They have been great to watch this season and Klopp is a stand up bloke. Congrats and enjoy tonight.

    He has not signed a player since Moura in January 2018. Not his fault of course. Needs the backing now he has to leave

    I was happy to see either side win but Klopp deserves it. Turned the team into one of the best in Europe in the space of 3 seasons.

    As a neutral - Awful game to watch. On the night Spurs were the better side I thought and deserved more but given the events over the entire season I'm happy that Liverpool won it as while poor tonight they generally have been excellent this season.

    But they were sitting at home after being torn apart in the second leg of their semi finals. So its irrelevant.

    When Ireland play like Liverpool did tonight they get slagged off endlessly on here. Liverpool booted the ball long all night safe in their minds that Spurs wouldn’t have the quality or belief to lay a glove on them. That late last gasp goal for Spurs v Ajax robbed us neutrals of a possibly decent Final.
