Alisson Becker - 4.0
This game had all the makings of becoming the battle of two world class keepers. Despite a couple of good first half moments, Ali was unable to reach his usual levels on greatness within a very strange game. Some uncharacteristic mistakes can be forgiven, yet the goals conceded were tough. Am off night, one of the few.

Tony Evans Column: Buckle Up! Beat Newcastle & Madrid to Avoid a Total Bust
The performance against Everton felt like a throwback to a golden age. Last season. Things change that quickly.
Granted, the Blues were really poor. We expected the Dogs of War. Instead we got yard-dogs with distemper.

(Both Milan teams …
Observations: Liverpool lose the Champions League Final
I'm sure we all feel pretty terrible right now. Liverpool have been defeated in the Champions League Final 1-0 by Real Madrid.
