Well, Salah did lose a wrestling match agaist Ramos..... However Liverpool started the match well and Salah was constant thread to Real with Mane and Firmino until he was injured. At that point i didnt even noticed Ronaldo was on the field.
You guys have been very classy in this thread, so thank you for that - I know you didn't have to be. You guys know the drama of a Wembley win, so you will appreciate how I (and FT) am feeling today!
Exactly, Igor. Salah was more of a threat in 27 minutes than Ronaldo was in 95. Alexander-Arnold was excellent and stopped him playing. The difference was Ramos’ job on Salah and Karius’ incompetence. Outside of those, it took something special from Bale to break them down.
I get the Ronaldo hating and I'm not saying he played well as he didn't . However, he had a header on target and a rocket shot from a tight angle early on, which wasn't far over. I don't remember any attempts from Salah although I'm sure he would have had some if he'd stayed on. Ronaldo would have continued his unbelievable scoring record had Bale rolled a simple square pass to him late on instead of looking for his hat trck . Ronaldo wouldn't have passed that either if the roles were reversed of course.
Congratulations FT, really pleased for your lot. I know a few decent lads of yours and despite our alledged rivalry, I always like to see you do well (unless you’re playing us of course) You’ve got a good side there and with a couple more decent purchases in the summer I think you’ll be fine for staying up. Hopefully we’ll be joining you in a season or two.
