Klopp has a pretty bad record in cup finals in general but in 2 of those 4 CL finals, his opponents were overwhelming favorites (Madrid 2018 and Bayern 2013)

So Liverpool played 3 finals this season and scored in none of them (winning 2 on penalties). Interesting stat for a team that is deemed one of the most attacking teams in the world.
on the flip side, the coach that tends to adapt to his opponents and is more on the conservative side by this day’s football standards just became the most successful coach in this competition.
Food for thought for people who think that an attacking style ala Pep/Klopp is the only recipe to winning.

This is just ridiculous. Real Madrid has been smashing opponents 3-0, 3-1, 4-0 in La Liga, a tougher league than Serie A, and scoring and conceding bigly in the CL. One match in a single final and now fans here think Allegri can deliver the CL when the stats over the course of the season actually show the complete opposite.

David Alaba is not even 30 yet and he has this trophy cabinet. 
Just insane.

It's difficult, but possible. Imo it depends on how Real will keep up the coming years, I could see them defend their La Liga title the coming season.
And CL? Never bet against them.
Neuer and Müller both got 31 titles, be it for Germany and Bayern. Müller with his soon to be 33 years of age could potentially surpass Dani Alves in titles as he just extended until 2024, but I doubt it will happen.
Dani Alves will hold the record I think.

Ancelotti knows he can’t play the high pressing football/“gegenpress” with a midfield that doesn’t have the legs, so he defaults to something he knows the team is capable of and doesn’t expose their weaknesses. The difference here again is that our midfield doesn’t have half the talent and our squad doesn’t have Real’s mental strength.
This again has nothing to do with Juve or Allegri. I am simply stating that there is more than 1 style that brings you success in Europe.
Once again defending deep =/= 'park the bus'. Stop pushing this ridiculous notion.
Liverpool press high. Playing open against Pool would've been suicide given the ageing legs in Madrid's midfield, hence they played deeper. Besides, as the game progressed Real's technical ability prevailed over Pool's athleticism hence they were able to control the midfield in the 2nd half.
Parking the bus would mean putting 10 men behind the ball all game, loading up bodies in your own box with no sign of attacking play or penetration from midfield which wasn't the case yesterday.

He said "When the goalkeeper is Man of the Match then something is going wrong for the other team.”
Then goes on to say Courtois made some incredible saves and Liverpool were not good enough.
