I’m laid in bed and I still can’t properly put that utterly mad game of football in to context. If ever there was the preverbal game of two halves, which highlighted your teams brilliance and frailties in equal measure, it was last night.
Liverpool start superbly. Not just in their intensity and football. But the smartness of their play. The best we’ve seen all season. Feeding off the crowd, 2-0 up inside 15. That could then have been 4/5. Mo is in at least that many times. And Trent and others too. But they don’t convert. And it costs them dear.
Poor defending lets Madrid back in when they should have been buried. But L’pool are still controlling the game. But then individual mistakes strike for 2-2 and 2-3, and then turn to utter S the second half.
Kudos to Madrid. NO side in World football lives with them last night. They are World Champions for a reason and the calmness they showed, in the face of a wild atmosphere and mad intensity from the reds, was imperious. Never panicking once when they were second best. An absolutely outstanding display where you just have to tip your hat to the better side.
So I really don’t know where to go on that utterly mad game of football.
On the one hand you’re P that all 5 Madrid goals are self inflicted nonsense and you should NEVER lose 5 at home. But you then temper that with how awesomely outstanding Madrid were.
On the other, there was so much good to take the first half when again, 2 goals were going on 4.
And now literally ANYTHING could happen the return. It’s not beyond any wishful thinking to think L’pool could easily be 2 up again in Madrid. Nor is it beyond possible they could lose 5 again.
I know we’re going to have a boss 3 days in the Spanish capital as always which beats being stuck in work. And what will be will be on the pitch. If the actual football is what your Euro away revolves around, you are doing it massively wrong.
Madridestas aside, nobody will be more happy than UEFA today. They can’t wait to get us out to save more protests. No doubt we’ll have massive fines coming our way but the banners and vocal letting them know EXACTLY what they are. We may have conflicting views on the side last night. But the pride off the pitch in standing up for our own was as strong as it always is here.
Weird game. Weird night. Heck knows what the return holds in store but NOTHING is outside the realms of possibility on tonights showing.
UTR! F UEFA!!!!!

), you wait NINE F months to apologise! And at that, ONLY after UEFA’s own investigation has found them bang to rights and the supporters of both clubs completely innocent.
I could watch that scousers heart breaking all day
