I know its funny to laugh at liverpool but please tell me you are not seriously comparing the agurably best rb of last seasons cl to calabria

I'm not laughing at Liverpool. To be honest, it's the club in PL I have the most respect for, but I was referring to Trend Alexander's defensive skills. If you've watched Liverpool games, you should have noticed it's obviously his offensive game that made him 'best rb of last seasons cl". He just enjoyed the same luxury that guys like Piqué and Bonnuci had at Barcelona and Juventus: being in such a strong team that there's almost no real pressure on the defense. This season, I've seen Liverpool struggling way more often that the season before and Trend Alexander got exposed so many times. His positioning is horrible and I'm sorry but he's just bad at defending. Even heard the game commentator saying a few times that Trend often makes mistakes when the defense is under pressure.

After all, he never was a defender. The guy played his whole life in the youth as a RM up until the day that Klopp decided to put him on RB, which was only recently. It explains why he's good in attack but horrible in defense. You can't just learn how to defend in a few weeks.

Frankly it should be treason to want any team other than Atalanta or Napoli to win it.

Either they're bigger teams getting closer to our titles or scum sides.

Unless Napoli or Lyon surprises, there will be at least one ugly team in the final

Why rather Barcelona at 3?

Bayern are the worst league scumming team in Europe and Barcelona are scum.

Liverpool are preferable over both, as long as they're not equal.

yeah probably true, I just wanted to show how big the contrast is between some teams

New question, is it possible for current Napoli to beat current Barca?

Possible? Yes.
But they're very wasteful.
Barca will probably outscore them even if they barely create any chances.

France Football has confirmed that the Ballon d?Or 2020 will not be assigned. ?The winners of last year?s edition will have no successors?.

Lionel Messi won the 2019 edition, his sixth so far, and will therefore keep the title for another 12 months.

"It's always hard for a club like Real to go into a game saying 'we'll surrender the ball'. It is the same for United," Rooney told The Sunday Times. "But we lost two Champions League finals going toe-to-toe with Guardiola's Barcelona, by trying to press high and get round them, which was suicidal.

"I remember Alex Ferguson saying 'we're Man United and we're going to attack, it's in the culture of this football club' and thinking 'I'm not too sure about this'.

"I think all the players knew, deep down, it was the wrong approach, that we were abandoning the way that had brought us success in that 2008 semi-final, and sure enough both times we got outplayed."

The Red Devils' all-time record scorer went on to reference Liverpool's 2-0 win against Tottenham in last year's final as proof that pragmatism often reaps rewards on the biggest stages.

"There is being true to the club, but then there's sitting back afterwards and thinking 'we lost'," Rooney added. "For me, it doesn't matter how you do it in these big Champions League games, as long as you win ? look at how Liverpool ground it out in last year's final ? and I think [Madrid boss Zinedine] Zidane has the same mindset."

Rooney is a mourinho

Although I'm glad it went against Juve of all teams, that penalty for Lyon is a perfect example of how lame the game of professional football has become
