Strangely, I was texting a UK buddy and livelong Liverpool fan Friday night that no matter what, this will be a finals-worthy heavyweight matchup with 2 of the historical teams, and while it was a lot quieter scoreboard than I predicted, I do think it lived up to the knife's-edge tension throughout. As you said, Courtois was magnificent, and I also felt Dani Carvajal was the hidden gem turning back time to break up plays and link with the midfield.

I never want to lose, but when we do pass the baton, I hope it is to Liverpool, Munich, or heck even back to Barca rather than the petrostates like Chelsea (love Captain America & Kante though) or god forbid QSG (City is a weird one for me with the $ and Pep, but the team itself is rather likable). Die Geggenpresser is a very likable coach, ditto Salah, Virgil, and pretty much your whole team, and it's a passionate fanbase. Hopefully Mane stays, and let's run it back in Istanbul next year!
