So with Chelsea being 4th, if they beat Arsenal in the Europa league final (assuming both hold their semi-final leads), does that put Arsenal into the CL the same way winning Europa would? Yeah, so about that miracle...... Edited May 7, 2019 by sabremike 2

I think Watford get into Europa win or lose, actually. Like Stoke City, when they lost the FA cup final, but Man City had CL qualification through league position, so Pulis into Europe really happened. Meanwhile, in what may (or not. Who can say?) prove to be a cruel metaphor for next season's premiership adventure, Norwich City's victory bus broke down while they were parading the Championship trophy.

Loser of the FA Cup no longer gets Europe. That change d a couple years ago.
Guest Edwin Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) That was a great game. Despite not having their best attackers, Liverpool made up for it. Shaqiri was bad in the first half, but got better in the second half. Mané and Virgil were nonexistent, but Henderson, Robertson, Origi and Wijnaldum were fantastic today. Origi and Wijnaldum more than made up in Firmino and Salah's absence. Namely Origi. Not sure what Klopp told those boys at half time, but they pulled it off. Even if it ended in 3-3 draw and went to PKs and 'Pool lost, their fans should be proud of their players. They gave their all on the pitch and it was an unbelievable performance. They have to be the favorites to win it now. Barça played poorly today. They looked tired and slow. Messi was nonexistent. Suárez was nonexistent. Alba, Rakitić and Coutinho looked terrible. Lenglet looked good in the first half, but terrible in the second half. Vidal was easily MOTM for Barça as he did a fantastic job holding off Mané. Not sure why Valverde subbed him off. Piqué was good in the first half, too, but slowed down in the second half, as did Ter Stegen. Edited May 7, 2019 by Edwin
Jiji Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) I see Suarez cleaned up his game. Just finished watching and I'm still overcome with emotions. Without Mo and Bobby, I was hoping they'd make Barcelona sweat and work for it. 2005 and all that, but it's Barcelona and we're starting a game with Origi (The Clutchest Motherfucker, but still Divock Origi - new age Smicer?!) and Shaqiri, who is not in game shape after sitting on the bench for almost all of the second half of the season. Was walking around the grocery store with the biggest shit eating grin like a weirdo. Edited May 8, 2019 by Oyaji 1
Ryback Hates Bullies Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 That Alexander-Arnold's a sneaky fucker eh? That's some good Vic Faulkner WoS babyface heeling right there. 1
ReiseReise Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 Good Job by Liverpool. I'm very happy for Klopp, whom I like a lot as a manager and personality. Also, this breaks the Spanish vice grip on the CL, last winner not from La Liga was Bayern in 2013. It will be interesting to see if the neutrals in Madrid will be on Liverpool's side now with them eliminating the great rivals of the city's clubs. 1

Guest Edwin Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 There's a video of apparently Culé's harshly confronting Leo about the elimination... Right, because he was the one person responsible for the elimination and because he isn't the one who's carried the club by himself a lot of the time.

cubbymark Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 Tottenham just told Liverpool, "Anything you can do, I can do better!" HO-LEE SHIT! 1

ReiseReise Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Poor Ajax, but what a turnaround by Tottenham. Two nights back to back with subs scoring double and almost at the same match time, astounding semis. 1
The Natural Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Two English sides in the Champions League Final and that may happen in the Europa League as well. 1
