@@blanco7726 I don't think shot/pass hybrids exist, it's either a shot that turned into a pass or a pass or cross that turned into a shot because the player scored and given the fact that he said it was a shot regardless of if he saw Vinicius pretty much confirms that. Remember he could just be trying to take some credit for the "assist".

[@blanco7726]

@@TheElChayanne no the shot/pass hybrid is one of the most dangerous touches a player can take, of course only if there is a player or two at the back post. Basically with the player at the back post, your margin of error is way larger and you can smack it as hard as you can, without worrying too much about accuracy. Not saying this was intentionally a shot/pass, but I have seen it many times, it happens mostly when the box is crowded and you only have a 50/50 opening in the defense. So the shooter just aims to the side of the defender where the ball will certainly pass through, even if they know they have to hit it closer to the defender to slide it into the corner, they hit it a little more wide because they know if it misses theres a chance another player will get their foot on it.

Why are we even pretending to be surprise about this, Laliga teams have won every single Ucl and UEL final they have played in the last 20 years, and English teams have bottled 16 consecutive finals to Laliga teams in the last 20 before Chelsea broke the course last season by winning the super cup against Villareal. Today makes it 17 loses in 18 European finals for English teams against Spa teams and the arrogant English media and it fan base will still keep making noise day in day to have the strongest teams in Europe. Laliga 17 vs 1 Epl in European finals in the last 20 years this is pure dominance without doubt.

I just knew Steve Nicol was going to cook up reasons for Liverpool's defeat. If you say it all comes down to Thibaut Courtois, for heaven's sake, there is a keeper in a team for a reason. Madrid was more strategic, simple! Move on please!

Correct. Actually, they have been deadly with their counters when winning the past 5 UCL trophies. Especially when R7 was still there.

[@juniorh9238]

@@cloak-and-dagger9660 Gimmie a break. I believe one of the reasons Mbappe stayed at PSG, is because of Lionel Messi being there. He experienced linking up with Messi, and how it improved his game. He realised that with Messi there, and along with Neymar, they CAN WIN the Champion's League! After all, they were cruising at 2-0 up against Madrid, but a bout of madness from their keeper caused them to loose the game and thus, their Champions League dream. Don't go following Craig Burley with his insular nonsense.

[@paulphoenix1551]

@@juniorh9238 You give me a break. The only reason he stayed with PSG because of the amount of money and power he received, and used Real Madrid name to leverage such ridiculous contract. So, no Real Madrid don’t need players like this. PSG ain’t winning UCL anytime soon.

[@j.d.5626]

Steve: "what chances?", Well, two chances, two goals. Like the other commentator said, the goal should have been valid. "It was offside" said Steve. No it was not. VAR does not need 3 min to take a decision on a offside. That was clear. 54% vs 46% so not so one sided as you said. Enjoy your premiership bias with a bath of reality Steve.
