Liverpool vs Real Madrid live analysis! – By Joe Prince-Wright at Stade de France

Real Madrid’s players and fans are still celebrating here at the Stade de France. Carlo Ancelotti has been dancing, while his players and their families are soaking it all in. Even though they’ve won so many of these huge trophies, surely this never gets old?

Here is the moment Real hoisted their 14th European Cup (14!) into the air.

Some really interesting comments post-game from Courtois, who says he doesn’t get enough respect, especially in England.

This is what the kids call scenes.

Liverpool’s players are dejected on the pitch, while Real’s are in the one corner dancing and singing with their fans. Klopp goes to give Alexander-Arnold a hug as the Liverpool youngster is devastated as his mistake to let Vinicius free was costly.

FULL TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-1 REAL MADRID – For the 14th time in their incredible history, Real Madrid are the European champions.

5 minutes of stoppage time.

Courtois denies Salah AGAIN! What an incredible stop. Moments later Real don’t make the most of a counter as Benzema just played it ahead of Vinicius Jr.

Salah almost slots in at the back post but Courtois scrambles over once again to deny the Liverpool star.

Diogo Jota on for Luis Diaz. 25 minutes for Liverpool to find an equalizer.

SAVE! Courtois denies Salah’s curler. Another good stop from the Belgian goalkeeper.

We had the perfect angle in the press box here as that Real Madrid attack developed. Vinicius Jr timed his run to the back post to perfection. Didn’t get in too early. Just hovered in Alexander-Arnold’s blind spot. Incredible precision.

GOALLLL! Real Madrid 1-0 up. Vinicius Jr taps home at the back post after a flowing Real Madrid counter. He snuck in-behind Alexander-Arnold.

Second half is underway! And Liverpool have started well. A wonderful cross to the back post finds Luis Diaz but Dani Carvajal does superbly to just put him off. Great defending.

HALF TIME: Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid – How it is scoreless I don’t know. Liverpool certainly will feel lucky to not have conceded just before half time after a lengthy VAR check. That said, Klopp’s boys were the better team and had the better chances.

NO GOAL + LENGTHY VAR CHECK! Karim Benzema has the ball in the back of the net but the goal is ruled out. Alisson made a bit of a mess of the initial save on Benzema (who didn’t cover himself in glory with his first finish) and then the ball bounced off Konate, Kroos and then Fabinho. The latter was judged to not have made a deliberate touch on the ball, so Benzema was offside. If the touch from Fabinho was judged to have been deliberate then Benzema would have been onside and the goal would have stood. Liverpool will be delighted with that decision. Real Madrid? Not so much.

BLOCK! Jordan Henderson with a timely block to cut off Vinicius Jr, who had cut inside dangerously.

It’s all Liverpool but Real looking dangerous on the counter. Alexander-Arnold with a vital tackle to stop Real getting away.

SAVEEEE! What a stop from Thibaut Courtois. He touches Mane’s shot onto the post, it bounces back and then Courtois grabs the rebound. Terrific from the Real Madrid goalkeeper.

SAVE! Really good stop down low from Thibaut Courtois to deny Mohamed Salah at the near post. First big chance of the game as Thiago’s curler is then straight at Courtois. Moments later Salah is denied by Courtois. Liverpool clicking through the gears now.

Wonderful tackles from Ibrahima Konate, twice, to get the better of Vinicius Jr. Huge roar of approval from the Liverpool fans.

Real Madrid have had plenty of the ball, but Liverpool look pretty dangerous and are trying to feed Salah as much as possible.

KICK OFF: We are underway here in the Champions League final.

GAME DELAYED TO 3:36pm ET due to delays getting fans into the stadium at multiple entrances. Here is the current situation outside the Stade de France.

 

Multiple reports suggested that Thiago would be replaced by Naby Keita but the Spanish midfielder remains in the starting lineup.

Here are my thoughts as kick off is fast-approaching here in Paris.

Lot of empty seats in the Liverpool end of the stadium, as there are reports of their fans struggling to get close to the stadiums as huge lines build up around the Stade de France. Meanwhile the Real Madrid section is basically full already, and has been for some time.

Both teams have now arrived at the Stade de France, as Liverpool’s bus was caught up in a little traffic as fans greeted them on their way to the stadium. Few players out on the pitch having a wander around. The music and buzz has been cranked up a few notches here inside the stadium.

The Liverpool starting XI is out and Konate starts at center back over Joel Matip, while both Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho start in central midfield Luis Diaz starts on the left with Sadio Mane through the middle and Mohamed Salah on the right.

Real Madrid’s team is out! Carlo Ancelotti goes with the team we expected. No surprises here, at all.

2 hours until kick off. 2 hours! This is the current scene around the stadium.

Meanwhile elsewhere in Paris…

The DJ is already blasting out some absolute bangers here at the Stade de France. There’s already a buzz of anticipation in the air.

Hello and welcome to the Stade de France for the UEFA Champions League final. A truly huge day has arrived!

The sun is beating down here in Paris and there are some incredible scenes from the Liverpool and Real Madrid fans who have taken over the French capital.

Here are a few examples of what they’re up to…


 

Liverpool team news, injuries, lineup options

Klopp has breathed a huge sigh of relief after Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk were both injured in the FA Cup final but Salah played in the final Premier League game of the season and VVD was on the bench, so they’re fine. His main issue is in midfield. Thiago Alcantara trained with the group on Friday at the Stade de France, while Fabinho has been back in full training for a few days. The latter news is massive as Fabinho’s ability to help cut off the service to Benzema will be huge.

If Thiago isn’t fit to start, expect Naby Keita to start in midfield with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. Up top Klopp has a huge call to make (he’s been getting it right for months with his rotation of his front five) as Luis Diaz may start on the left with Sadio Mane through the middle and Salah on the right. However, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota have consistently shown they can impact the game and it would not be a surprise if either started ahead of Diaz in attack.

Real Madrid team news, injuries, lineup options

Carlo Ancelotti has had the luxury of resting his key players in recent weeks as Real won the La Liga title at a canter. Veteran left back Marcelo is Real’s only injury concern and that leaves Ancelotti with plenty of options in midfield and attack as youngsters Rodrygo and Eduardo Camavinga have pushed hard to try and grab a starting spot in the final.

Pre-match press conference – Friday May 27

Wrapping things up from a sunny Stade de France!

Final question of Klopp’s press conference was about the final being moved from St Petersburg to Paris. His response was emotional and here’s what he said.

Jurgen Klopp is asked Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara. He says it looks good for both. Great news for Liverpool fans.

Robertson and Alexander-Arnold are being asked a lot about Liverpool not winning the title on the final day. They so they have ‘put it behind them’ and say Champions League final is best way to get over it.

Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are both batting away questions about Liverpool not being fresh and Real Madrid having a bit of an edge as they’re rested.

“It goes without saying we have a world class opponent staying in our way,” Alexander-Arnold says.

Trent and Robbo are here…

Welcome to the Stade de France! The Liverpool team have arrived in Paris and we are about to speak to Jurgen Klopp, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson here in the press conference room.


Preview Liverpool vs Real Madrid

urgen Klopp vs Carlo Ancelotti. Virgil van Dijk vs Karim Benzema. Trent Alexander-Arnold vs Vinicius Jr. Mohamed Salah vs David Alaba. The list of epic head-to-head battles goes on and on as these two European giants collide at the Stade de France to be crowned European champions.

Given that these teams met in the final in Kiev in 2017-18 (when Real prevailed) and Liverpool won the title in 2018-19, these two Goliath’s continue to dine at the top table of European soccer season-after-season and their fanbases hold this trophy in even greater esteem than winning the domestic title.

The U20 World Cup takes place in Argentina from May 20 until June 11 as 24 teams full of the best young players on the planet go head-to-head to be crowned World champs.

[ LIVE: Watch the U20 World Cup en Espanol ]

The USA have plenty of talented youngsters and Mikey Varas’ talented squad made a run to the quarterfinals before bowing out to Uruguay. That’s the same stage they exited their previous four U20 tournaments (2015, 2017, 2019 and once again in 2023).

The USA won Group B with three wins from three and hammered New Zealand in the last 16. The Baby Yanks fell to Uruguay on Sunday at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero.

England and hosts Argentina were among the favorites to win the tournament but were knocked out, with Brazil and Italy both impressing and in the last eight, plus Nigeria and Uruguay have also looked very good.

Argentina stood in at the last minute to host the event after the tournament was moved from Indonesia.

Manchester City vs Inter Milan: How to watch Champions League Final, odds, predictions

0 Comments

Manchester City is on the chase for a historic treble and standing in the way is Inter Milan, one of Europe’s precious few clubs to claim such an honor.

[ LIVE: Manchester City vs Inter Milan ]

The Premier League winners three times running have an FA Cup under their belt after beating Manchester United on June 3 and the final jewel in their treble crown awaits with a win in Istanbul on June 10.

[ MORE: How to watch Premier League in USA ]

Pep Guardiola could lead a second club to a treble after he did it with Barcelona in 2008-09, and they would give heated rivals United domestic company on the treble stage right down the road.

Guardiola says it’s now okay to talk about the treble. We agree, and we’ve laid out why the achievement is so special after the jump.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Manchester City vs Inter Milan.

What Premier League clubs have won the treble?

Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League in 1998-99.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils are the lone Premier League club to win it.

That’s it. For now.


How many times has the treble been won?

Nine times in history has a team won its domestic league, top domestic cup, and the European Cup.

Bayern Munich and Barcelona have each done it twice, with Bayern doing it in 2012-13 and 2019-20 and Barca pulling it off in 2008-09 and 2014-15.

Celtic was the first to win a treble, doing it in 1966-67, while Ajax was the next in 1971-72.

PSV Eindhoven then won it in 1987-88 before Man United made it happen 11 years later. Inter Milan is the only Italian team to pull it off, winning in 2009-10.

Manchester City beat Man United in FA Cup, one win from treble

0 Comments

Manchester City won its seventh FA Cup and moved with a Champions League win of the very rare treble with a 2-1 win over Manchester United on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.

Ilkay Gundogan scored a goal after just 13 seconds — an FA Cup Final record — and volleyed home off a corner kick in the second half after a Bruno Fernandes penalty had drawn United level before halftime.

[ MORE: Pep Guardiola reaction – Okay to talk treble now ]

The Manchester derby nature of this FA Cup Final, the first final match-up between the heated rivals in tournament history, will make City’s win even sweeter, and the cherry on top is that United was unable to stop City’s quest to match its 1998-99 team.

That’s the only time in English history we’ve seen a treble that included the European Cup. Man City meets Inter Milan next week in the Champions League Final. A win means the treble.

Erik ten Hag is denied a domestic cup double in his first season as United boss. The FA Cup has been played since 1871, and Man United’s 12 tournament wins trail only Arsenal’s 12. United last won in 2016.


Treble-chasing Man City didn’t need its best, shows rivals distance to climb

This could’ve been a clean sheet win for City on another day, who had to deal with a 1-1 deadlock because of a legal but unsavory handball call against Jack Grealish that sent Bruno Fernandes to the spot.

Yes, United will point to the fact that it had to rebound from Ilkay Gundogan’s super quick opener, but City’s train barely left the station in this game and it was still a comfortable-enough win.

City let United hang around but there was always a feeling of inevitability: A moment of class was coming from one of the best teams ever assembled in world football.

Erling Haaland didn’t score and City misfired on a number of opportunities that it generally puts home. Is that a bad sign for next week’s Champions League Final?

That remains to be seen and debated, but there’s no question that City showed United how much more there is to be done to catch up to the champs. Why? Because City’s B-game was more than enough to collect another trophy.

Manchester City vs Manchester United as it happened

First half

THE FASTEST GOOOOOAAAALLL IN FA CUP FINAL HISTORY! It’s Man City taking the lead as a long ball is headed down by Erling Haaland and Ilkay Gundogan’s first touch is a stunning strike from outside the box. Man City, 1-0!

That’s certainly put the game on its head, and City has another chance go very close before United can get their hands anywhere near the game.

City’s had three of the match’s four shot attempts and about 67 percent of the ball at the quarter-hour mark but United’s press is keeping things interesting and there’s been a little drama in the United third.

Fine margins… could’ve been 2-0! Erling Haaland is an absolute full stretch to poke a Bernardo Silva pass toward goal, but he can barely get to it and De Gea corrals the ball with ease. 17′

CLOSE! Kevin De Bruyne drills a left-footed shot that spins just wide of the post as City is starting to collect near-misses. That’s both asserting control but keeping the Red Devils in the match. 29′

VAR CHECK. Could there be a penalty for Man United? Aaron Wan-Bissaka heads a cross off Jack Grealish’s arm, and the video review is putting Man United on the spot! PENALTY…

GOAL! Bruno Fernandes bests Stefan Ortega with a stuttering run-up, rolling the ball the other way to make it 1-1.

Looks like this one’s going to the break at 1-1, and Erik ten Hag has to be thrilled about that. Neutrals will be happy, too, as we’ve got a tense derby finale in the balance. City’s taken six of the 10 shots in this one and had 60 percent of the ball but United’s got the xG lead 1.00-0.61.

Second half

GOAL! City on the front foot again, with no changes to start the second half, and a 51st-minute corner free kick sees Ilkay Gundogan etching his name further in Man City lore when he waits out De Bruyne’s lofted free kick and grounds the ball inside the near post. Man City, 2-1.

SAVE! David De Gea reacts to make an in-tight leg save on De Bruyne.

OFFSIDE GOAL: Gundogan is point blank to tap in a loose ball but is offside. It would’ve been a hat trick.

CLOSE! At the other end, United sub Alejandro Garnacho drags a shot just wide of the far post. Those fine margins remain part of this one!

It’s desperation time for Manchester United, who only had seven minutes and stoppage to get in the way of City’s second jewel in its treble crown.

Gundogan’s close to his hat trick again but this time Luke Shaw intervenes to force a corner kick.

WOAH! Very close to a stoppage-time equalizer as Scott McTominay makes chaos in Stefan Ortega’s box, leading to a corner kick. Cleared by Kyle Walker for the moment. Less than two minutes left now…


Ilkay Gundogan goal video: 13 seconds in!

Bruno Fernandes goal video: Penalty makes it 1-1


Ilkay Gundogan goal video: Patient, precise, pretty
