Happy for Klopp and Poch. One is guaranteed a trophy now so all those 'loser' shouts from twitter dweebs will be erased 50%.
Seeing Poch cry made me cry.

I hope Klopp will win this final. Especially after last year, when they played against Real Madrid, it is now time for him.
In my behalf, Poch can cry after the game again.

Liverpool going on a warm weather training camp before the game. Our record after those warm weather training camps are abysmal. Congrats to Spurs.

Re: 2018-19 UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread
Ajax boys fought really well. They completely deserved to go through, but whatever cosmic footballing forces exist out there didn't want that to be the case. It was like the inverse of Spurs vs. Juventus in the round of 16 last season, where Spurs commanded most of both ties but Juventus were the ones to show the guts needed to take the victory, even if this was in far more heartbreaking circumstances.
I'm still in shock. I've never seen this group of players show so much heart. Llorente came on and transformed the game, he gave Spurs an important dimension and Vertonghen's diagonal passes kept reaching him like guided missiles. Alli, for the first time in a few months, showed who he truly is: a hole player of the highest order who, when not running in behind defences, can wrangle defenders into his field of gravity, making critical space and openings for team mates. Lucas Moura played like he was possessed, he looked every bit the player he was touted to be when he left Sao Paolo for PSG. Absolutely heroic.
Win or lose in the final, this season Spurs and Liverpool have shed their recent bottler labels. It's not necessarily the most glamorous of CL final match ups, but they're two teams that are a reflection of the guile and heart of their managers if nothing else.

Biggest reason Ajax lost (besides Moura) was Sissoko. Ajax doesn't know how to handle players like him. Never have and never will.
We deserved to go through to the finals, but in all fairness, Tottenham kept believing and they punished every mistake we made.
It wasn't meant to be unfortunately. I'll be rooting for Spurs to win it now. Would be great for Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Eriksen.

WOW
Liverpool are heavy favorites according to this: https://www.bonusseeker.com/news/new-jersey-sports-betting-sites/uefa-champions-league-final-odds-pick-fanduel-sportsbook, but Harry Kane is coming back and I wanna ride that magic.
All the value is on Tettenham. Let's get that cup, baby!

I'd take it. I'd take the ball bouncing in off the referee's head if it wins us the CL

Champions League final tonight.
Most media outlets rightly have Liverpool as favourites, but I'm hoping we can play with bravery and give them a difficult game.

Crappy game 0 midfield. Bringing on Llorente was the right decision maybe should’ve happened sooner. Let’s see if Tott can tie it up
