An epic game! Overall I’m pleased with our first half. We playing well. However, inter punished our sloppy defending from Carlos. Half time chat for him with lopetegui needed. I hope he sorts it out.
Bar that we doing decent. Inter are dangerous on counter but we have controlled the match more in my view. I just hope we can make it count in 2nd half!
It could go either way. Very good final. Vamos!
We need the next goal, this is crucial. Character is key now. Believe guys believe
100 bucks on a hattrick for Luuk, might as well go all the way
Diego Carlos… what can I say? He was the culprit for both goals (stupid penalty and stupid foul outside the box - they converted both). He has marked Lukaku well at times, but he is adding unnecessary pressure to himself after picking up yellows early on in the match. That is not something that a clever CB does. A good thing though is that no top club will want him now after the recent performances, especially vs. Man Utd and today, simply still not clever enough to make it big in a top club, PLUS… without the pressure of the fans!
Luuk De Jong has definitely proven that he is a clinical finisher, just needs better team play around him and better chances. His 3 goals, unlike Diego Carlos with the 3 penalties, make him a name to remember for the club. I just hope that this won’t jinx it and that he never returns to the De Jong that couldn’t score to save his life (the De Jong of the first half of the season - mostly).
We have controlled most of the match and have played much better in overall (58% of the possession as well), but both teams were dangerous at given times. I wouldn’t be surprised if we lose this one tonight, however, we surely wouldn’t deserve to lose as this pathetic Inter does not deserve the mighty EL title, that belongs to the almighty Sevilla!
Let’s finish the job in the second half!
VAMOS MI SEVILLA!!! VAMOS CAMPEON!!!
this game is fun. damn that foul was soft but it wasnt blatantly wrong… just weak.
up for grabs. lets get it!
Luuk with his head or feet are two different worlds, but a striker solely usefull in the air you need to play around very well. at times we do and the deliveries need to be done well.
Also Inter should have had a lot of cards in the first half… the ref was very chill about the constant fouls they were making to kill the game of. Reminds me of Chile vs. Argentina in one of the Copa America finals, not sure if the first or second final of them… the first I think. Chile were beating down the Argentina players all the match and got very few yellows after 4-5 fouls per player. In that way, everyone can just kill the game off and play when they are in the mood to. That’s what the cards are for, to prevent killing off the game and taking advantage unfairly through countless stops (a.k.a. the Chile way).
Also 2, I won’t argue much about the penalty but he was technically fouled outside of the box and the final fall was inside the box, so the ref should’ve given a free kick instead. Diego Carlos’ main training instructions should be notes from the book - HOW TO NOT GIVE OUT A PENALTY EARLY IN THE FIRST HALF for Dummies.
Such weak football from Inter. Trying to get a card on Carlos for that flop.
Great block by Carlos! Might give him confidence.
De Jong is spent - time for YEN
That could have been the hatty for De Jong if SR would have seen him.
Yeah ocampos and de jong both look knackered. Banega too!
I think it’s about the thousandth foul by D’ambrosio and still no card.
Bono massive save!
Munir coming on! Good change! I’d be tempted to get En Neysri on soon!
Diegoooooo makes up for his own mistakes!!!
That’s my man, Lukaku helps him with it!
HOLLLLY shit!
Resilience!!!
Lukaku has my vote for man of the match…lol
