“Streets of Mexico City full of pink, white and black Real Madrid jerseys, like an awful cake,” says Tim MacGabhann. “Last time I came to this cantina with the only other Liverpool fans I know here, the waiters laughed as 7-2 thinned to 7-6. They have brought me a bucket in case it’s the same this evening. May God have mercy on us all.”
“Hello Rob,” says Kevin Thomson. “In the unlikely event of Andrew Robertson picking up a CL medal tonight, he will be the first Scotsman to do so since … I think it was Paul Lambert playing for Borussia Dortmund in 1997 (somebody may find this interesting).”
