Both the UEFA finals were absolutely atrocious games of football. The CL game was particularly bad, listening to jenas,hoddle and mcmanaman making excuses for the games quality was truly painful. Madrid is warm in June - whodda thunk it ???

Klopp deserved the CL most though, he has had some rotten luck that might have broke lesser managers. Getting a decent keeper and a quality centre back were the missing pieces of the jigsaw and now I expect them to kick on and win more trophies. Van Dijk's quality was clear to see to anyone even in our league.

I just wonder why it took klopp  so long to realise that's what his team needed.

The Europa League final was dreadful. Both sets of fans got 6,000 tickets while the rest went to sponsors and corporate and sold to neutrals in Azerbaijan, other problem was the stands were like a mile away from the pitch so there was no atmosphere in that match. Champions League final wasn't the greatest but Liverpool deserved that, occasion got to Spurs and the heat affected both players.

The Europa League should have been played at Wembley and the Champions League final should have probably been played in Ireland or even in Scotland at Hampden Park. I reckon UEFA shouldn't announce where the finals are going to be held till about the Quarter-finals. Found it weird that Azerbaijan was picked for the Europa League when it's right on the border with Asia. They are also hosting group stages matches and one of the quarter-final matches for Euro 2020.
