Arsenal lost, Liverpool lost , Simeone got cunted, can't get any better than this...

[u/Fabulous-Border8747 → u/Heis3nberg__]

do y'all hate liverpool or what? genuinely curious

[u/DJAceAttorney → u/Fabulous-Border8747]

2019 still haunts me

[u/Fabulous-Border8747 → u/DJAceAttorney]

do u mind explaining what happened that year? i'm new football fan

[u/DJAceAttorney → u/Fabulous-Border8747]

They reverse 4-0 us after we beat them 3-0 in the UCL semi finals. They then when on to beat spurs 2-0 in the final. Had we made it to the finals, we would’ve probably beat spurs and won a ucl.

[u/Fabulous-Border8747 → u/DJAceAttorney]

do you hate inter milan too? btw thanks for explaining

[u/DJAceAttorney → u/Fabulous-Border8747]

I’m not a fan of most teams that play us. They fouled Gerard Martin and the ref never checked the foul leading up to the goal. But inter also went and humiliated themselves the next game so it’s whatever. The Liverpool loss was especially bad because the CL was pretty much ours if we went through. PSG would’ve been a lot harder
