Awful, awful loss. Congrats Pool fans.

On the balance of the tournament, Liverpool deserve to win but in this match they offered very little and we shot ourselves in the foot. Sign some players, give it another go next season.

8 attempts on target vs 3... yet score is 0-2.. Sucks for Spurs, but that early penalty was too hard to overcome

None of these attempts on target was really a challenge for Alisson.

Congrats to Spurs for making it this far!

If I'm Lucas Moura I'm asking for a transfer request this summer. What a disgrace. You run with guy who got you there not the player who hasn't played in over a month.

Very disappointing final. Quality of play was very poor. Only last 30 minutes or so were worth watching.

I think couple shots were decent and he certainly needed to work to save them

Played our worst game of the season and won the CL! Feels so great after playing so well in so many Finals and losing.

What a manager, what a great bunch of players and what a club! I’m so made up!

Agree....nobody on the Spurs seemed to really get pepper into their shots. Was not a historic game for either team. Very forgettable CL final, truth be told. Especially thinking about both team's prior game. Props to Tot....you guys beat some legit teams getting to the finals.

Shame the penalty so defined the game. Guy's arm was out there.....and you can make the argument that NOT calling it would define the game. Horrible place to be for the ref.

As you know, seeing my posts on the Liverpool thread, I'm all about us winning the league. But it's really good for Klopp to have SOMETHING to finally show for the work he's done at Liverpool. This was a massive win for the club. Good for players..good for the coach...good $$$ for the team....and a good sales-pitch this offseason.

I'd like to think this goes for both squads. Some really good work getting to the finals. I think both teams got to showcase their potential, and can make the case that the sun is bright "here".

When you bench your most in form player (Moura),you deserve to lose.

Really not as exciting a competition as the Premier league this season. It must be terrible to be a ligue 1 supporter and realise that your only team is not winning any more than Celtic.
