The Football.....

Magnificent I even forgive them for 1970 Cup Final win,what a great game.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I don't know about both teams Postie. An old football cliche,but i don't think Man City turned up.🤔

Outplayed Accy - 3 times in a row we have beaten them doesn't lie.

Utterly brilliant result. Getting hammered tonight.

Weird just before the game I opened my first of three bottles of London Pride,and I thought I wonder if ,and guess what they did.

N'Golo Kante........What a player, deservedly man of the match, world class, bossed the game tonight.

Best wishes to fellow Lancashire clubs Blackpool and Morecambe who play on Sunday and Monday in their respective play off finals!

I didn't watch the final.......wasn't well so went to bed.
Various reports tell me that Pep made a BIG error in only playing one main mid fielder and he was over run........ anyone got thoughts on that ?
An 'observation'. ........at first I was delighted the the final was 2 English teams** but it seemed to take the edge off it as I like to see 2 nations represented.
** not sure how many of the 22 were actually English.

Really enjoyable match and regardless of Pep's team choice, I reckon it was more about what Chelsea did than what city didn't.

Chelsea were superb - rock solid defence and lightning fast counter attacking completely nullified City's overtly attack orientated set up.

Brilliant match to watch too.

For some unbiased praise of Chelsea visit Blue Moon and read how their fans reacted to the Chelsea performance.

Dead chuffed today - 4th major European trophy in 9 years, 2 x CL and 2 x EL.

For some reason it seems to be all Chelsea fans that think it was a great game......not read many City fans that feel that way

A good game from a neutrals perspective.

I always enjoy a good battle between a winger and a fullback.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Not a bad haul in 18 years:

 

[PaulB]

Who was the last English manager to win the European Cup/Champions League? Anyone know?

 

[Smokin Joe]

Gotta be a Scouser, Joe Fagin?
