YES. I don't think anyone could gauge how fudging hot it was unless you were there. People say 'well you had 89 minutes to get back into it' after that brickhouse bent decision, without knowing that all the scousers had to do was sit back and see how long it would take us to run out of steam. I actually thought we did very well to NOT run ourselves into a panic hole after that...I've watched it a few times and think we were closer than we thought. In fact, I'd say Poch made a massive mistake bringing on Llorente and taking Dele off; the very combo which got us there! Dele was getting into the game around the 60th I felt...anyway...fudge Imagine Dragons!
p.s. just got fired up again, went to the wikipedia entry on the 2019 Final and edited their summation of the penalty for accuracy!!!! Let's see how long it lasts!

Summary
Prior to kick-off, a moment of silence was observed for Spanish footballer
José Antonio Reyes, who had died in a car crash earlier in the day. Liverpool kicked off and earned a penalty kick just 24 seconds into the match
when Moussa Sissoko was erroneously judged to have handled the ball in the penalty area, after a pass by Sadio Mané from the left struck his chest/armpit. The resulting penalty in the second minute was scored by Mohamed Salah shooting to the right, giving Liverpool a 1–0 lead and Salah the second-fastest goal in a Champions League final.
[92] Tottenham held the majority of possession in the first half, but were unable to find scoring chances; Liverpool had their own chances from a series of six corner kicks, but played cautiously with their lead.
[93] The match was briefly interrupted in the 18th minute by a
pitch invader.
[94]>>
The change lasted 10 seconds :-(
