Just now getting back to this thread.
What a game from Courtois. I thought for sure Liverpool would have had at least 2 in the first half alone with the way things looked early on.
I didn't like the offside call on Benzema either but guess it's how the rules are written. Read a breakdown of how VAR looked at it. There were actually 5 different aspects of the play they had to examine, so that's why it took so long.
Benzema has to win the ballon d'Or now, right?
Kinda curious to see how Brazil handle things on their RW spot now with Vini Jr coming on so strongly this season. When does he supplant Neymar?
RM's run to this UCL title has to be up there with the most difficult. PSG, Chelsea, Man City and then Liverpool? All while many were doubting their quality. Ancelotti did a great job managing the various pieces. And I think the veteran guys like Benzema, Modric, Kroos, Carvajal, Courtois just relied on their experience from past UCLs.
