LeBron James had a very entertaining Saturday evening, as he traveled to Paris to watch Liverpool take on Real Madrid in the 2022 edition of the UEFA Champions League final. The King wouldn’t see his team lift the trophy at the end of the night, as the Spanish club won a hard-fought game.
Even though things started pretty well for LeBron, having fun on his way to Stade de France, even asking Liverpool not to start the game before he arrived at the stadium. Well, none of that worked in the end, with Liverpool losing the match and the biggest trophy of the season.
If that wasn’t bad enough, Real Madrid fans picked on the King by telling him he wasn’t the GOAT and naming Michael Jordan as the greatest of all time. A short video shows fans yelling ‘Michael Jordan better’ at LeBron while the King laughs and just tries to watch the game.
Despite the loss, Bron had a nice time in the French capital, even meeting Real Madrid legend Ronaldo Nazario and taking a great picture with the former striker. He took this opportunity to reflect on his journey and shared an inspirational message on social media, recalling his childhood and reacting to becoming an owner now.
The GOAT debate is huge around the NBA right now, and no matter where these players are or what they’re doing, there will be somebody ready to troll them to try to get under their skins.
Bron celebrated Liverpool’s FA Cup win, but this time, they found their right matchup and Real Madrid, behind a tactical masterclass, beat the Reds in a hard-fought duel in Paris. It was a duel on the pitch and on the stands, and LeBron was involved in the second one.
