How can a how can a team with a CF as useless and positionally unaware as Werner win the champions league? Just how? Citeh were crap. Chelsea were unfortunately excellent.
I think Guardiola got this completely wrong. You have to have the likes of Fernandinho in the starting eleven, it was not a balanced team.
Arrogance from Pep in that decision. Thinking he didn't have to have a natural holding player in a game of that magnitude
I presume he thought with that starting 11 they’d race in to a 2 goal lead and then he could bring on the holding midfielders. Big mistake, especially when you see how much space there was for the Mount through ball for the goal.
I know they're not in England tonight but presume the May 17th rules have changed how medals etc. can be given - Both tonight and in the Play-Off Final earlier I noticed the players being given the medals and shaking hands, whereas in the FA Cup Final (May 15th) the players had to collect the medal themselves and Prince William just had to stand there.
I’ve watched absolutely zero football this season outside of Charlton. I couldn’t believe the quality on show tonight, particularly the first half. Complete night and day. I might not have noticed it as much had I been watching top level football as much as I used to, but the only thing I can liken it to was being locked in a dark room for a year, and then seeing light again.
I know this might sound obvious, given the gulf in class, it’s just an observation of literally only watching us this season and then seeing how quickly and open both teams were.
