It's easy to forgive someone for cheating and diving if he's on your team. That's probablly true.

Lmao, are you kidding? He has been a legend for 20 years.

Btw, Madrid are so lucky : dodged Neymar, Dybala, Robben and Salah, got gifts from Rafinha, Ulreich and Karius x2 and the ref. They deserve to win because of their opponents' brainfarts but damn, so many gifts.

Zidane is undeniably a legend as a player so I guess I phrashed that badly. I meant more his venture into a managerial career. Before the season if you told the fans they would be 17 points off Barca they wouldn't believe you.

edit: If you gave me or anyone else on the planet the Real squad and resources available to them at the beginning of this season. I reckon most people would get closer than 17 points off the pace. I won't go as far saying I would win the Champions League as manager of Madrid. ZIdane can chalk that one up. That's an actual Real achievement, ha.

I agree that despite his third win in a row in the most prestigious competition, it's hard to rate his level as a coach. " la chatte à Zizou" (his luck) is already a meme here. Can't deny the achievement and at least he's humble about it, unlike some other managers. At the very least, he's able to handle his players' egos and he often makes smart substitutions during the games.

Yeah this Real team are pretty unbelievable especially this year, suck at La Liga but peak at just the right times during CL. Not to mention the final, Liverpool's best player injured after 30 mins and 2 goals that were straight up gifts. Just got to give it to them I guess.

Can't believe this is how Ronaldo gets his 5th CL over Messi but oh well.

Here's the gif

https://media.giphy.com/media/65OEZzsIW14OrkOuXn/giphy.gif

I see it as Salah being the one actively "locked" his arm with Ramos' because the ball was going away from him. Ramos obviously, on purpose, let his whole body go and fall over dragging Salah with him. I swear to god i've seen this move so many times in the Premier League with the like of Terry and Vidic during their prime. It was unfortunate the Salah fell on his shoulder but I don't think it was foul play. Ramos has been a cunt his entire career that's a fact but in this particular case I don't think it was his fault.

edit:

Look at Salah's arm.

I think Salah was the one actively locking arms with Ramos and Ramos just abused that fact then to commence a throw.

I know Messi is amazing, but that salary does explain Barcelona's wage issues.

To put things into perspective you can get 7 Kanes for that money and 10 Eriksens.

Tottenham give low wages but huge performance bonus. No way they would have extended their contracts without those.

if ur worth more, why would u want to get paid less? especially given that football has no salary caps.

it would be the same as anyone else in the world.

So how about Kahn saying Ramos elbowed Karius? Just another coincidence like the Florentino Perez' captain leading Madrid's typical style of getting every call and cheating everyone from every continent as well?

I think people don't rate the ability to keep such a big and problematic team in check and happy

There's more than just tell your wingers to run, and make a pass for the forwards to scire qhile your midfield counters the oyhers.

He is a great coach BUT ALSO a great mamager

True, perhaps not the best comparison. Still I cannot help feel Barcelona have gone a bit overboard with that salary.

Yeah the wage of their top stars at Barca is killing them as its proving now, they have to sell a fair few to be able to buy every season.

Also Ramos might be dirty, but he didn't do anything "awful" to Salah and as the gif/image shows, it was a standard tackle and i would have at worst given Ramos a yellow but looking at it again and again it was the right decision the outcome, a freekick nothing more.

Bale is going to have a few suitors now as he gets the whole summer off to get fit and come back stronger next season as he was injured a fair bit this season. Man Utd, Chelsea for sure will be interested, Liverpool themselves might as we, doubt Spurs could entince him back due to wages, but if they could it would be a massive coup for them.

looking at barca's wage bill, dont really see anyone grossly overpaid (maybe messi, but thats just cause his wage is so much higher than everyone elses), it just seems like they have a lot of players.

Welp I stopped playing after Ramos injured Salah without even a foul call lol. Was very obvious that he intended to hurt him because of he still held his arm while putting his body weight on top of it, when touching on the ground. Felt like I was watching some hollywood action movie, what a shitshow.

You could feel how the whole Liverpool team and fans morale plummeted after Salah left. Before that, they were running all over Madrid ezpz. Didn't even need to watch the rest to know who wins.

If you watched the replay you could see that it was Salah who locked arms with Ramos and not Ramos.

They both used their arms at first but in the end it was Ramos who kept the lock when falling. It's not like we don't have hundreds of footages of Ramos being a massive cunt...
