Liverpool fans came in numbers to the 2018 Champions League final in Kiev. There were also plenty of fans who couldn’t make the game and watched from Anfield. Come the full time whistle, no matter where they watched, Liverpool fans were understandably upset about the result. And many Liverpool fan reactions were caught on camera.
Only moments after Sadi Mane saved the life (and dignity) of Liverpool keeper Loris Karius with a second-half equalizer, Gareth Bale came off the bench as the ultimate super sub and did this (with Titanic music for extra effect):

One first half goal was all that was needed to help Fulham win promotion to the Premier League for the 2018-19 season. Fulham's captain Tom Cairney converted on a first-timed effort off a well-weighted pass from 18-year-old wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon (he was born in 2000, folks).
With the Champions League final and EFL Championship Playoff final all happening in the space of a few hours, soccer fans will be glued to their TVs, anxious to see who wins each game. In one, a team will be crowned King of Europe. In the other, a a team will be promoted to the Premier League again. But how much is at stake for winning the Championship Playoffs versus the Champions League final?
While they are completely different games, one has a much more significant financial gain compared to the other – and believe it or not, it's the EFL Championship Playoff final.
The ESPN World Fame 100 has a glaring absence from its list this year, and it's a bit of a head scratcher. Last year's ESPN World Fame 100 list included Mo Salah as the 100th most famous athlete in the world.

Those reports said Arsenal would introduce him later this week, but Unai didn’t have time for that and wanted to show Arsenal fans that he is indeed a strong manager that can lead them to the promised land.
The former PSG and Sevilla manager announced himself as manager on his website today.
Supporters of Celtic hardly needed another reason to love James McClean.

Santi Cazorla is officially no longer a Gunner. Arsenal announced Monday the Spanish midfielder would not return next season as his contract officially expired at the conclusion of the 2017-18 season. It’s a sad end to a superbly gifted player whose career was derailed by injury.
Chelsea and Manchester United battled in the FA Cup final in the second-most pompous event in England on Saturday. For both clubs, it was the culmination of a season fans of neither club will remember fondly.
While Chelsea won 1-0, it’s tough to determine which club had the worse season.
The final 23-man England World Cup squad was announced on Wednesday. But I’m not really sure if Gareth Southgate actually named any players to it or if those English kids were just spewing jibberish.
OK, so I admit I’m an American. I prefer American grammar to British grammar and sometimes need to turn the subtitles on to watch “Snatch” or “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.” But the England World Cup squad announcement video was just pure garbage to my ears.
