You'll probably be OK. Going off the bookies odds...

CL ~63% chance
FA ~59% chance
League ~33% chance

=> ~12% chance of the lot

It won't happen, but it's a seriously good ride!

I saw an interesting stat that Liverpool will have played every possible fixture that could have been available to them at the start of the season, don't know if that's ever happened to an English team before?

Hmm I wonder why bookies think they have less of a chance of winning the FA Cup vs Champions League? I would have thought Madrid would have a better chance than Chelsea, but I won't argue with the bookies!!

Also, Real Madrid have won La Liga already so have 3 weeks to rest up, Liverpool don't have that comfort.. I suppose that can have it's pro's & cons on both sides

After a full season of going toe-to-toe with City in the Premier League, the hype around a CL final between the two would have been massive, especially since the final is less than a week after the final round of the PL

From a footballing perspective, there's no question that Liverpool vs Man City would have been the most attractive fixture. But from a Liverpool perspective, IMO a final against "not-City" releases some of the pressure on that match already

Of course, Real are the champions of Spain with several games remaining, and have shown how stubbornly hard-headed they are in the Champions League, so it's not going to be an easy match by any stretch of the imagination

But I do think it will be a less-stressful build-up to it, and even if Liverpool are still on for the Q-word going into that match, it'd be better to lose it to Real than an English side

Still on 😝

(obviously we won't win the league, I'm not delusional. But it's technically possible!)

Can you win the league on penalties too!?

I don't watch much GAA but aren't pitch invasions quite common in it, especially finals? How is it viewed in the GAA?

Did you get caught up in anything afterwards? Heard there was tear gas at the fanzone too. Absolute disgrace
