No, they played cautious bc they were in a final
But the boo boys and phaggots constantly go on about how you can't win a CL final when playing cautious and defensive/reactive.
Klopp's team just won the CL playing an ultra-cautious, 35% possession, 3 shots on goal game in the final, with an iffy 50/50 penalty, 2 minutes in, proving that their statement is nonsense.
Allegri had the perfect tactics against Barca, a superior team in our 3-1 loss. It was 1-1 in the second half, when Alves rugby tackled Pogba in the box, and no penalty was awarded of course. Barca, scored on a counterattack a few minutes later, after Pogba was fouled by Alves again to win back possession.
Winning a CL final is about getting the breaks and bounces your way, and being ruthless in front of goal. Not about some style of play.
