    Christ, trying to belittle Liverpool winning the CL because they didn't win the league...how petty do you have to be lads. I'm ****ing disgusted to have lost it, but get over yourselves and just give them the credit they deserve for winning it.

    I absolutely hate Jose Mourinho but he's absolutely spot on, finals aren't for performing in, they're for winning. Harsh on spurs who gave me many heart attacks but we've been there an done it and these lads deserved every bit of tonight.

    Champions of Europe, accept it.

    I know origi got another goal but looking back at the penalty do we really want them given going forward.

    Yes arm not in natural position but no intention and appears to come of chest first.

    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.

    Spurs the better side?

    I don't know. Never looked remotely like doing anything. Smothered almost.

    And I've had a great time out here with Spurs fans, credit to their club, with others there'd be no chance of that, too salty to show grace.

    How many handballs are actually intentional? Very very few.

    Had a fair few chances in the second half. Alli header, Moura in the box, to name two. And Eriksons free. A few others I'm sure. Definitely looked the more dangerous to me but Liverpool took their chances, that's what counts.

    Congratulations, you have won the most ridiculous, sour post of the day.

    They never looked like a side capable of taking any of those chances

    I dont think you know what the word League means

    A lot of people bitch about Pool fans and not wanting to listen to our **** if we win something. But really its people like yourself that make pool fans celebrate so much. I mean do any of your comments even make you feel better? Like saying that Liverpool winning the Champions league means nothing because they arent champions of England. I mean ffs your bringing it on yourself.

    Did you at least enjoy Spurs being the best team in London ;)

    Jaysus some of the posts here are pathetic!

    Liverpool deserved that. Got an early goal and knew Spurs couldn't score against them and in all honestly didn't get close in 90 minutes. Hit them with a late goal then to kill the game... it's not attractive but it was effective. 90 odd points in the PL running a fake oil money club close and losing by one point, they deserved a trophy. They're a far better team than Spurs end of. Awful game for the neutral like me to watch but jaysus the sour grapes... Enjoy it pool fans.

    OK fair point - can't see where the pass was going to end up but sissoko has blocked the ball with his chest first and then it's popped off his arm.

    I used to be a referee and under the old laws which I know have changed I definitely wouldn't have given it (also as a spurs fan that might have influenced me :) )

    I think we could see a good few more free penalties if this is enforced.

    Anyway shouldn't bring the thread off track. As I said before fair play to Liverpool and a missed opportunity for spurs tonight as Liverpool were not at their usual level.

    Not a great game & Liverpool played miles better even in the 3-0 defeat away at Barcelona. Don't think Firmino or Kane were fit to start & the other 20 players probably were cold too.
    The 3 week break is far too long. Both finals this week were a poor advertisement for football.
    UEFA aren't alone to blame for that as the Premier League both started & finished too early this season.

    Delighted for Liverpool, that team & Klopp deserved something this season. The man has done some job. He's delivered silverware & I can't wait for the new season.

    I was hoping Liverpool would win tonight but the longer the game went on spurs deserved extra time at least. Liverpool were cagey and fearful in attack. A shell of the team they can be. They didn't deserve a 2 nil scoreline.
    It was the most disappointing anti climatic final in my lifetime made worse by the June matchday.
    Im finding this YNWA ****e intolerable that Liverpool fans go on with too. The snugness "pool" fans have with the club is beginning to become overbearing. Seems to have mushroomed this season too.

    It's the sign of a wanker supporter when YNWA is at the end of texts or posts. As a neutral supporter I can say that you sound less like a true supporter and more like a wanker with a YNWA at the end of a text.

    wow. There I was thinking this guy is making good points that I agree with and next blam smack in the face with an insult. A wanker supporter? because I wrote YNWA? I think its past your bed time little fella

    Only if you have someone with their hand(s) that far out/above their body. It was crazy by Sissoko. Pochettino slumped into his chair, he knew it was a pen. Even the players were halfhearted in their complaints.

    Neither side were at their best considering the great games they usually have against each other in the PL.

    3 weeks off, stifling heat, injured players not ready, rusty players. It was a bad final but the winners won't care.

    Some people losing their minds in this thread. Gas stuff.

    Poor game. The only thing that matters in finals is the final score. Delighted for Klopp and this Liverpool team. Would have been a blow not to win something after their progress in the last few seasons. Now they've broken the seal the pressure is off them to a certain extent.

    Thought Alisson was the best player on the pitch. Not a huge amount of competition for that award though.

    Liverpool absolutely deserved to win but to say that about a team that knocked out city, Dortmund and came back to win 3-0 against Ajax in the second half is just silly

    It's what the teams in Europe subscribe to, you'll have to do some word magic to describe the winners of the champions league as anything but champions of Europe.

    It’s not a league of champions.

    Dude, stop punching yourself.

    Some people won’t be happy until the Maltese “Champions” get their rightful place back in the upper echelons.

    LOL and you wouldn't be a little bit biased at all eh? Thought Spurs made a game of it unlike the one sided Europa League final. According to the media Liverpool would have had it all sewn up by half time.

    Honestly, I never saw any of this... just about every pre-match report I saw or listened to had liverpool as slight favourites, but no more than that.

    Not a great match, but that doesn't matter. Did what needed to be done, and was so ****in' delighted Divock struck at the end - he's great for those quick touches to find space, and arrow straight lashers into the corner.

    European champions again. Bloody hell.

    YNWA

    Fair play to Liverpool, as sickened as I am, they’ve been magnificent this season and probably deserved last night.

    But this YNWA is a load of bollocks usually spouted by people who think Liverpool are a “special club”. As I recall last season Karius was very much walking alone after the CL final.
