'It's a disgrace to Real Madrid.' Following Michael Owen's remark that Liverpool are still the best, Rio Ferdinand retaliates.Despite losing the Champions League final to Real Madrid, Rio Ferdinand has responded to Michael Owen's declaration that Liverpool are the finest side in Europe.
Despite having the better opportunities, Liverpool was defeated 1-0 by Real Madrid in Paris. They were unable to get past Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who was having the game of his life. He denied Mohamed Salah three times and was unstoppable throughout the night.Even so, Real deserves credit for getting the job done. They defeated Manchester City in the semi-finals and also defeated Chelsea in the quarter-finals. Owen, on the other hand, maintained that Liverpool were the best.
"I still think they're the finest team in Europe," Owen said after the game to BT Sport. "On other occasions, their name would be engraved on the trophy."
Ferdinand rushed in and slammed the door on Owen's claim. "How can you say they're Europe's best team?" He said, "They've just lost the league and the Champions League final."Liverpool has had a tremendous season, according to Owen, and they are still the "team to beat." Liverpool are, without a doubt, a top team, according to Ferdinand. However, he believes that winning silverware is required to be the top team in Europe.
"I don't believe they're Europe's top team," he added. "I believe that in order to be regarded the best, you must win the most trophies." They're an incredibly exciting group. They've competed in every game available to them, as seen by their point total in the league and the consistency with which they've played."However, if you want to be dubbed the best team in Europe, you have to win the big trophies."
Rio Ferdinand believes that winning trophies is the key to success.Ferdinand also thinks it's unfair to call Liverpool the top team in Europe after their loss to Real Madrid.
"I don't believe they will be considered that way, and to suggest that would be disrespectful to Real Madrid," he remarked. "They've just beaten our league's top three clubs, gotten rid of them, and gotten their hands on that trophy."Real Madrid not only won the Champions League, but they also dominated at home. They won the La Liga title in spectacular fashion. Barcelona, in second place, trailed by 13 points.
With the triumph over Liverpool, Real currently has 14 European Cups to its name.
