Agreed. Man for man Liverpool are inferior to Madrid, and Zidane's rotations and willful cession of the league mean that Madrid is better rested. Bale and Isco of the bench if the game is tight. I don't watch Liverpool all that much so hadn't realized they had such a reputation for diving, but being coached by Klopp it's not that surprising.

10 days to go!

My prediction is it'll be 1-1 or 2-2 after 90 minutes.

As a Liverpool supporter, obviously I'm rooting for them.

Most interesting matchup for me is Marcelo vs Salah...if Marcelo decides to gallop down the pitch all game, Salah could have a field day. Not sure if Marcelo is disciplined enough to stay back and defend...it's in his blood to charge forward!

Should be a great final...I'm just happy to be in it!

I think Real Madrid has too much next-level quality across the lineup for Liverpool

Hoping for an open, fun game.

I'll say 4-2 for Real Madrid

It has to be fans of other clubs taking the piss. It has to be.

Zidane: The fact that we have more experience counts for nothing. A lot of their players have not played a final. So what? They are going to go out on die on that pitch to win the game and we have to be ready for that. They have not won it for 13 years and we won it last year, it doesn't matter.

Im all for the poems if they create a en masse placebo effect. We scored 3 past City within 30 minutes that way.

I thought it might be a very well orchestrated trolling forum, but then you remember people that stupid and delusional actually exist. I can't stop reading, it's actually incredible.

yeah, that's one of the main delusions on rawk, City is the best team in the world and Pool had a masterful performance against them. I'd instantly agree to Pool showing up at the same level they did against City.

I agree, WIM is a massive factor in deciding who wins the finals. Fortunaly we have an army of poets ready to inspire our players with their verses.

Well, there's something to be said to have actually played the game at the most elite levels vs these egomaniacs who think they know everything without ever living it themselves

It's surprising how irony challenged Liverpool fans are. Must be that none of them went to public schools.

Just heard Robbie Fowler on the radio saying that Liverpool have winners in their team. I wonder who he thinks they are and what he thinks they've won.

I can only think of Milner winning a couple of things at Man City.

I'm a bit ashamed to say it, but I'm at post 1209 on rawk's CL thread, this is fascinating. If Real Madrid wins the final, which is like a 0.3% possibility in their eyes, do they shut it down? Because that should be hilarious to read afterwards.

Not according to his wiki page, he only made 3 PL appearances that season. Fair enough on the Swiss league.

Still a bit of a stretch to say they're winners though, especially in the context of the side they're facing on Saturday.
