LIVERPOOL locking horns with Real Madrid in the biggest game of the European football calendar has a eloquent feel to it, writes JOEL SANDERSON-MURRAY. Feels right, doesn’t it? The names bounce off the page at you. Liverpool and Real Madrid, these are the big boys,...
LOOK at these men, writes CAOIMHE O’NEILL. These men, in their red ties who have fancifully danced us into the elite ballroom of a European Cup final. Another European Cup final and it’s about time. The players have fought tooth and nail to get us here,...
WHAT to write about in a week like this? What to say that hasn’t already been said a thousand times? I wasn’t at the match on Sunday. Jürgen Klopp knocked on at mine after the Chelsea game and told me to have the weekend away. He said I’d put a lot into the Champions...

IT’S pretty hard to put into words what this trip to Rome has been like. For all the concerns beforehand, all the well wishes from friends and family, you’d have to be made of wood to not let a percentage of the fear seep into your psyche. Instead, what has greeted us...
