sne Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Having been very critical of them finishing the season I have to say this new format was very enjoyable (much better than the regular one) and even unlikely I hope they stick with it. Hopefully it was worth it to finish the season, short term it was. Remains to be seen if this extremely long season and congested schedule next season takes it's toll on the top players and we end up with tons of injuries once we get close to the Euro's next summer. From a Corona standpoint it seem to have worked (hopefully). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it has been as successful as it could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Poor final though that seems to be the norm, VAR again up to no good and arguably cost both teams a penalty. Hunger from some of the Bayern guys is incredible Muller and Neuer have won the lot and still want more As for Neymar what a clearing in the woods, nothing in football is as enjoyable as his tears 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cause they had a truly amazing youth side from 92 doesn't mean they didnt also buy their way to a title. Talk about missing the point. United earned their wealth through being successful, I didn’t say they didn’t spend money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half Bayern Munich cut out the quick PSG counter attacks and got on top. That was actually the first european game I've fully watched since restart. Have to say they got the crowd noise spot on compared to the premier league's awful attempts, sounded like there were thousands of fans in the top tiers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 24, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thought it was a decent final, played at an almost PL pace for the first 45 mins and could easily have been a number of goals. As for Naymar, I cannot stand him and will support almost anyone playing against him. Plus I know he has incredible touch at times but I also think he is one of the most over rated footballers of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It’s a shame there was not an early goal or 2 so it really caught light. Was just bubbling under but was still far better than the Liverpool / Spurs snooze fest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good final haven’t enjoyed european football in years but must say I have enjoyed it all since the restart, and yes I was convinced there where fans in the top tiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 PSG were extremely well drilled. With all the possession they had Neves didn’t have that many saves to make. But Bayern fully deserved the win. What a team and the turn around by the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
