Thanks Maggie, great to hear your memories , my dad went as well he brought my mum a miniature pair of clogs home as a souvenir <laugh> they sat on the mantlepiece for years but my regrets were not asking him more about the trip but I know that his group of friends had an old Bedford van that they went in
I've still got my clogs <laugh> I also bought an Edam cheese for Dad & a large bunch of 'Tulips from Amsterdam' for Mum, a popular song at the time (Max Bygraves I think).
 
Love it, pundits crash and burn again. Before the two finals they were almost writing off the UEFA cup as going to be so dull as hardly worth talking about, while the CL final was going to be a 4-3 goal fest.
 
PSG’s forwards looked spent, Neymar had a horrific game and Mbappé was awful in front of goal. Bayern worthy champions.

Munich were imperious throughout all stages of the CL this season.

From what I can see, PSG hardly forced Munich to raise their game to
serious heights (perhaps fearful of being on a 7-8 goal spanking if they
went toe to toe ?? ) .

I watched a different match! In my match Manuel Neuer was probably man of the match with a number of excellent saves and PSG were denied a stonewall penalty.

I thought Bayern were pushed quite hard and had to raise their game significantly in the 2nd half to get to win the game and in the end just about deserved it.

If PSG had any composure if front of goal they'd have scored a couple. Both sides should have had penalties.

He came out of lock down looking more confident and more determined than ever before and for the first time IMO looked in command of his area
If you believe in xG stats (to be more specific, post shot expected goals minus goals allowed per 90) he was the best keeper in the PL by a fair margin last year. https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/keepersadv/Premier-League-Stats

I thought he was good all year, but better than good after the break. Among other things, he was getting the ball to his teammates from goal kicks, which I never remember him doing.

Patson Daka with a couple of quick goals for Salzburg against Liverpool.
Putting in good numbers for them. 24 goals in 31 league games last season. One to watch.
