Liverpool fans would have bitten your hand off for 5-2 before the match started. Had it gone from 0-2 to 5-2 everyone would have been saying how brilliant it was. Liverpool have the players to score in Rome and Klopp will be drumming it into them that the job is only half done. Having said that Rome will be a cauldron of noise and self belief and if they score a couple then it will be such a rarified atmosphere that anything is possible.
Real leading at Bayern now too. Doesn´t look like Real or Bayern are playing well mind. (By their standards not Watfords´)
Arsenal summed up in a nutshell there! Against 10 men and score one looking to get more and leave the back door open for Madrid to score ! No chance I feel now in the 2nd leg ..

Just seen RM go through, not sure if they deserved it but probably just. They gave Bayern so many chances mind, defensively weaker than I have ever seen them.
What was that Bayern goalie doing for the Madrid 2nd goal !!! Liverpool will enjoy fancy that defence if they get to the final.
Well that's the late May bank holiday screwed up. Would love to see Madrid win it but we all know what's gonna happen. Might sit in a cave for 48 hours...
Spend 48 hours in a cave here and you would be wrecked unless you forgot to take your corkscrew with you.
Thing is, and I´d rather Scousepool win, RM have been there, done it and can weasel out results. I´d still bet on Liverpool to win mind.
Probably Klopp would have preferred Bayern in the final, with old scores to settle and so on. As you say Real have mastered the technique of not playing well but still winning through, and tend to be at their best for the final. Also Real may have the edge in a one off match - over two legs I would tip Liverpool. Also strangely suspicious that Ronaldo failed to score in both legs of the Semis, so he may have something to come in the final. Liverpool may have the most dangerous strike force in Europe at the moment but they have not proved that they can keep up the high tempo Klopp style for a full 90 minutes - a repetition of the last 20 mins. of both games against Roma and Real will be licking their lips. Liverpool do not have the game management that real Madrid do when defending a lead. I tip Liverpool to lead 5-0 at half time with 5-4 as the result, but I will settle for that.
