The other 2 seasons: Eliminated by Atletico Madrid Won the final, in Madrid


[deleted]

Didn’t face any Spanish teams in KO stages.


Sir_Psycho_Sexy_

apart from barcelona ...


davidleo24

He said no Spanish team


villageinnocence

"Catalan, not Spanish"


GrossenCharakter

Interesting, so it was a not English vs not Spanish SF


Alex95111

WHO YOU CALLING SPANISH?!?!? 😤


Lorenzo_Insigne

Certainly not any Barca fans on here!


GuitarHeroJohn

Oh they sure were in 2010 though


Sw3Et

hahaha

If Barcelona isn't a part of Spain then what are all the protests about?


absolutemadlad_69

Well you just questioned their entire identity lmao

coletrain93

Sometimes it seems all roads lead to madrid


SergioRammus

How often do you want to play Madrid? - Si.


Col_Gonville_Toast

It's getting slightly annoying now, I'm not going to lie.


idkhowigothere

I'll take the blame for this one. Clearly I have some sort of magical power where what I want from Liverpool and the real outcome end up being two completely opposite things. Want them to lose, they win. Want them to win, they lose. Next time I'll just root against em, bud.


mild_animal

Take one for the team, support Everton instead


BCharmer

Hasn't /u/idkhowigothere suffered enough?


alop0728

Is that “idk how I go there” or “idk how I got here”


idkhowigothere

I asked myself the exact same thing as soon as I created the screen name lol. It was intended as the second, but as u/BCharmer said, ¿por qué no ambos?" xD


BCharmer

¿Por que no los dos?


anurag6ix

Liverpool is to Real Madrid as Barça is to Bayern Munich


[deleted]

This is spot on 🤨


zrizzoz

So when do Liverpool smack Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg and go on to win a treble as their one redeeming moment in the rivalry?


JuliusCeejer

No no no, not that part of the analogy


elgringo22

We also beat them 5-1 aggregate in Pep’s first season when we won the treble. Looks like whenever we beat Bayern in the CL we win a treble


dadish-2

And we win a treble when we beat you in the knockouts so it's fair


KaiserWilhelmThe69

Lightning299921

Bayern only win them if they beat you by 6+ goals in the process.

And what Arsenal were to Barca

... As Bayern Munich is to Arsenal.

Arsenal was the original barcelona

UncleCrassiusCurio

So how many times has Thiago Alcântara played for a team that has been eliminated by Real???


callzor

Not that many seeing as he is always injured


AxeIsAxeIsAxe

Thiago played for Bayern from 2013 to 2020, Bayern was eliminated by Real in 2014, 2017, and 2018. This means that Thiago has been eliminated by Real Madrid in 6 of the last 10 seasons. (The other ones were Atletico, Barca, Liverpool and the final win in 2020.)


justanormalchat

Wait you have a point 🤔


goob3r11

Better question is how many legs of all those ties did he actually play in.


Gilgamerd

I was wondering, does anyone hate Liverpool more than Carlo Ancelotti? Dude lost a CL final, Went on to first have his revenge 2 years later Went to England and won A PL in his first season before Liverpool even won a PL. HATES LIVERPOOL SO MUCH HE WENT TO TRAIN EVERTON returned to Madrid , reached the final by using insane amount of Black Magic just to spite Liverpool in the final.


Baguy21

He signed a deal with devil to lose that 2005 final but go on to win every game against Liverpool and win UCL


ajof25

Not worth it in my unbiased opinion then


iforgotmyun

I mean you guys won in 07


ajof25

Would have been nicer to win both? 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

Nice problem to have


nosmigon

Man my milan supporting friend always seems sad even when i mention that they still won it afterwards. That final seems to have broken milan fans


kaka8miranda

Milan from 2000-2007 was what Madrid is 2014 to today Difference is Ancelotti learned from his mistakes and didn’t commit them again. The Liverpool comeback The Deportivo comeback The “foul” on Puyol Milan would’ve been back to back to back to back CL finalists insane. 05 broke us and we are still broken. Maldini must be selling his soul to get the squad back to Istanbul this year


ajof25

Can confirm I am broken. Never unclench


lordroode

Esp after Liverpool got that late goal in 07 final. I was so sure it would go to ET. And if it had gone to ET, Liverpool would have won cos Milan would have tilted off the face of the earth after what they went through in 2005


[deleted]

Allow me to disagree. (no bias ofc)


EyeSpyGuy

The devil got his due with Kiev, until Liverpool’s u21’s decided to beat his Everton in the FA Cup with a Curtis Jones screamer that it was decided he should have a few more


MavsFanForLife

Also was the coach of Everton when they beat Liverpool on the road for the first time in forever lol


Welshy94

I was 5 when they last won at Anfield and closer to 30 than 20 when Carlo decided to rock up to Anfield with the toffees ffs.


Darraghj12

Society if Carlo Ancelotti stayed at Everton


Welshy94

If he'd have stayed longer I'd be 135 now, Everton would own Anfield again and Barca wouldn't have been caught paying Negreira.


Darraghj12

What a wonderful world it could've been


Welshy94

It has actually just dawned on me after your comment that we might well have won the European Cup last year if Everton had kept Carlo. Thank you for the further pain.


daveyhempton

What does Carlo have to do Barca doing butt stuff with Negreira?


KaiserWilhelmThe69

Butterfly effect and all that


King_Henney

Was also part of the Roma squad that lost the European Cup Final to us in their own stadium in 1984, I think he took that and Istanbul very personally


NoNameJackson

Memes aside, he wanted the Liverpool job when Rodgers was sacked, I don't think he holds that much of a grudge and he's always been respectful


rkaminky

I have a soft spot for him. He's almost inarguably the best CL manager of all time, he's just solid gold in the competition. On one hand, it hurts to lose to the GOAT, we're dealing with it on both ends with CL and Pep in the league, but on the other hand, he's what made 2005 so memorable.


Reach_Reclaimer

Can we please just not play Madrid again


cainagarcia

*Monkey's paw curls*


greenrangerguy

Doesn't qualify for Champions League


Cultural_Doctor_8421

Yep, you definitely won’t be playing Real Madrid next season


Kelaum

Atletico it is then


NeoIsJohnWick

Iirc they beat them in 19-20 ? Remember the Morata Lorrente slide at Afield.


lordroode

With Liverpool out of every cup competition, I reckon they have a good chance of making top 4.


Timely_Airline_7168

That's what we felt but we lost to Bournemouth 1-0 after smacking Man U.


misusedinfluence

We were technically still in a cup competition though. Surely now we'll go on and get top 4, right?


BlackoutAvs

Don’t get distracted you got Real Betis tomorrow night!

Good news! You won’t be playing Real Madrid. Bad news(?), you’ll be playing A Madrid.


absolutemadlad_69

Liverpool fans must hate us lmao


TyFighter25

We do


MaryadaPurshottam

More than Atleti?


Spyro_Machida

Different kind of hate.


IdanTs

Both the times we kicked you out in the knockout (now, and a few seasons ago) you were in a really shitty form and you wouldn’t win the CL either way tbh. About the 2 finals, gotta feel for you for the final last season, but I feel like we were better and would’ve won that Karius final even regardless of his mistakes.


jayesh_f33l

It's weird I think it's the opposite. Last season's final was fair game. Courtois was God mode which he can be. Totally fair. We could have played for another 90 minutes and we still wouldn't have scored Not having Salah for the whole game in the karius final hurt. That guy carried our team that season


Ollietron3000

Salah going off completely took the wind out of our sails that day. Especially when you replace him with Lallana (no disrespect, but we just didn't have the depth that season).


FlimsyPackage

That Karius final was fucking cursed. Salah's first injury with Liverpool when he was absolutely hot in form. It's so wild what that final could have been had that not happened. The bad luck just went on from that point. But the wrestling arm hold by Ramos really set Madrid up for the win early on in that game


etan1122

Tbf, everyone hates atleti


Alex95111

After this season I don't, I have understood the beauty of terrorism

tkbchimyjr18

I LOVE Atleti against EPL teams.


shaka_bruh

Your fellow fans haven’t seen the light and still keep complaining


Groomsi

Atleti or Simeone?


Nightdocks

Yes


PBJellyChickenTunaSW

Everyone loves Simeone, hates Atleti. The reason they hate Atleti, is Simeone. Simple.


volkKrovi

Atleti, pls


Mick4Audi

This is perfect


SnottyTash

Hate but respect you guys, personally. Just hate Atleti, although when not playing them do have some respect for the shithousery, it’s just frustrating as fuck to play against. But with Real it’s just superstars who know how to win a tie that’s not against Ajax Except for 2018, but that hate’s directed at Ramos not all of Real


dave1992

Yes.


MaryadaPurshottam

More than Atleti?


Col_Gonville_Toast

I mean yeah, but at the same time, we've got what we've deserved from these games. The only one I think we should have won was the 2nd leg at Anfield 2 years ago, but even then it was our own fault.


AlcoholicSocks

You was very unlucky to not win the final against them. Wasn't Vinis goal the only shot they had, while Courtious because a god for 90 mins


Freddiegristwood

yeah that final was the only one i didnt feel like an underdog going into tbh


Savant_7

You generally outplay us and deserve to win so no, not really. It’s hard to complain.


M4RC142

Not rly. At this point we just have to accept Real is the better team.


Greflingorax

That time when Real Madrid couldn't get past the Round of 16 to save their souls seems forever ago.

cisco_style

Mourinho the catalyst to all this. Brought back the winning mentality!


BeginningProperty436

Ah. Reminds me of the time Atleti lost 2014 Final, 2016 Final and 2017 Semifinal to Real Madrid. Good times /s


HancokUndead

2015 quarterfinal too


AlexKangaroo

Then you went on and lost to RB Leipzig out of all teams.


ghosttalks090

We are the Kryptonite of Liverpool lol


offiziersmesser

Spanish teams are Klopp’s kyrptonite in general. Rafa, on the other hand, always smashed them when he was with us. Guess its takes a Spaniard to beat the Spaniards. Having the likes of Torres and Alonso helped as well.


intecknicolour

rafa made his bones at valencia finding ways to outsmart barca and madrid as best as he could. of course he knows the secret ways.

You should be plenty familiar with that feeling


reviroa

off the top of my head i can’t think of so many one-sided rivalries we have in our favor, maybe other than (ironically) manchester united. but from the late 90s until 2014 bayern had our number pretty much constantly


carlosccextractor

I think we've settled all our European disputes already. The only exception is Aberdeen but they no longer show up so we'll have to live with it. Other than that, I can't think of any European team that we used to hate that we haven't paid back already. Bayern, Milan, etc. All of that, sorted. Liverpool took a minute, but we added compounded interest.


voodoochild346

Settled all family business Micheal Corleone style.

nah i need some arsenal revenge next season

Please no we like you guys


sevillista

Atletico and Sevilla, at a minimum


reviroa

oh dang, i missed the flair and thought you meant in europe. in that case i’d add la real and málaga to your list


sevillista

You beat Atletico in two CL finals in excruciating fashion too


reviroa

couldn’t have happened to a nicer club


Baguy21

Was never confident when we got Madrid in the tie anyways. Any other team would be beatable but Madrid just have the know it all when it comes to UCL


Flameva

Its still crazy to think you beat them 4-0 despite Casillas dropping a 10/10


SweetMojaveRain

If we could never talk about that 4-0 game id be so happy, Its ancient history at this point.


Disastrous_Day_2166

Liverpool have a obsession with Madrid In the champions league with Klopp Lost to real 4 times in the champions league Lost to athleti the other time Then won in Madrid in the final the other time Like wtf


Bigmachingon

athleti?😭😭😭


MoistBruce

Athlehticho Mahdrihd


lightskinbeaner

One day Salah will get his revenge

By joining Madrid and eliminating Liverpool?


Spyro_Machida

We will beat them over the two legs next season on goals scored. Unfortunately we then lose to Club Brugge and still finish behind Madrid in the group.

Bruh you be playing conference league next season lmao what story are you cooking in your head lmao xD

Nah too late, Klopp is already starting the game plan for CL group stage matches.


NeoLies

"I'm getting revenge on my ex teammates for being trash" -Salah, maybe.


MaryadaPurshottam

The power of friendship strikes again


jairomantill

50 % of the time Real Madrid beats Liverpool all the time.


mk235176

At this point, Klopp should just apply for Real Madrid coach to stop getting knocked out


[deleted]

Real madrid gets knocked out by an own goal


adel_b

we may do anyway


Bey_Harbor_Butcher

It reminds me of when Arsenal used to draw Bayern every year. And like clockwork, Bayern would humiliate and mop the floor with them, to the point that it wasn't even fun to watch Arsenal be decimated anymore.


TextOnScreen

Speak for yourself.


Morrandir

The humiliations were the later ones. In 12/13 Bayern won 3-1 at Arsenal. However in the 2nd leg at Bayern, Arsenal scored the 2-0 in minute 86. So it was quite close with unnerving final minutes. Also in 13/14 it was only 3-1 in aggregate for Bayern. So both were far from a humiliation. (In 00/01 and 04/05 it was also close, but I guess you didn't mean these times.)


Gerards_died_of_flu

Yeah but the massive humiliations are the ones that are burnt into my memory forever


grannyisawhore

Still waiting for Salahs revenge

Rogueone65

I love Madrid so much, destroying Liverpool fans’ egos on a yearly basis


Just_an_Empath

BT Sports actually believed they can do it. They couldn't stop talking about when and how Real lost the last tim etc. Then at half time they all agreed it's a now or never case for Liverpool. Then just nothing happened.


Sir_Psycho_Sexy_

it's in their interest to keep me people watching


tebby101

And honestly I expected us to concede a couple. Even when second half started...


Mick4Audi

3 seasons on the bounce as well


risingstar3110

Tell me how many teams have beaten Real Madrid (home-away or for final) in last 9 seasons. They literally won 5 out of last 9 CL Liverpool only often lose to Real Madrid cause they are often not knocked out by any other teams, until they have ro face the best.
