May just be me but aren't these "great comebacks" exposing how absolutely shocking defending and coaching is nowadays?

I mean, I'm pretty sure about 10 years ago when it came down to the big boys in the latter stages they were always cagey, super intense, low scoring games with the odd exception.

Now, we've had at least 4 "great champions league comebacks" in 2 years where one side has smashed the other 3.0+ then gone on to lose - PSG, Barca (twice), Ajax.

Just a point how the game has changed.
 
Them lot could still end the season with nothing, but if they had to win one which would you prefer them to win? The CL or the PL. CL for me as the not winning the league for so long would continue.

Obviously the CL, everyone including them knows the PL is the one they really want and would hurt us more if they win Sunday

I think it’s because of the pace and in your face tactics, our top teams seem to play nowadays, Barcelona are all about attacking if they aren’t allowed to they are very ordinary. Look at our recent results, our players have been running much more and become or aggressive in an attacking way, that’s the way forward fast and quick attacking, don’t let the other team have a moment on the ball.

Congrats Yid, amazing match last night... Please God the trophy is yours....

Unlikely too, but hope the media give ye the credit you deserve in the build up and this doesn't just become the Liverpool show again... What Pochettino has done there is quiet incredible...

How can you even say that unless your a spurs fan, spurs and them lot in the final, it’s a disaster for an Everton fan, the reds is obvious, but we don’t want spurs even getting even more ahead of us, a win will propel them to buying better players etc.

Too late for that. New stadium, London based, half the england team... they are on a different trajectory now

Well done spuds, but I can't help feel Ajax would have had a better chance of seeing off the RS.

So what we have here are two bottle jobs in the final. Luckily for one club they are going to break the curse.

Frankly how people can still push the bottle jobs tag on Tottenham is embarrassing. Just look what they’ve done in the champions league this season. Gone to the Nou Camp, Dortmund, City and now Ajax needing a result and come away with one.
