A defeat

Early Sunday morning was supposed to be the big day. Liverpool play Real Madrid in the Champions League final. I slept but woke up just before three in the morning. The game was already on for a few minutes. I was hoping for a Liverpool win, having enjoyed watching the kind of football that they have been playing all season. Fast, exciting, attacking football. Unfortunately, it was not to be. They lost their star player Mo Salah after thirty minutes through injury. That completely changed the complexion of the game. Then the two howlers by Karius, their goalkeeper. No team can hope to make a comeback from such terrible setbacks especially when playing against a team like Real Madrid. So it was, a defeat.
