Will review later. To start: the Guardian live thread citations should be combined together, even if they are separate pages. SounderBruce 17:24, 29 August 2021 (UTC)reply
SounderBruce, I have Not found that on any other Final articles before but I have combined the final two as they are the same.

I am still working on my comments for this review. I've had a few projects to finish up over the week, so this one fell a bit behind. SounderBruce 21:07, 9 September 2021 (UTC)reply
@
SounderBruce:, do you think that you will be able to review over the next week or so? I completely understand if you feel that you are unable to complete the review and I will ask if someone else can finish it if you feel that would be best.

I have been busy IRL but will have a bit of time this week. SounderBruce 04:09, 20 September 2021 (UTC)reply
Lead
The lead should not have citations for only half of the statement. Per
WP:LEADCITE, it's all or nothing (and the latter is generally preferred)
The prize money does not seem to be an important enough detail to be included in the lead. I would suggest adding the goalscorer and MOTM instead.
Teams
The table has no citations and doesn't seem to provide anything that couldn't be turned into prose.
This section might work better if merged into the Background.
The note about recognition should be integrated into prose and the list portion is unnecessary.
Venue
The venue change should be explained with a reason (if found in a source)
No information about the bidding process?
Background
Some more information about the 1981 matchup would work well here.
"also losing both" drop the also
A comma is needed before "respectively"
Route to the final
The table serves no purpose.
The link to the Champions League should include the year of the competition
U-23 should not be abbreviated on its first use
"forced", "beaten", "heaviest" are not appropriate
Back-to-back paragraphs that begin with "Liverpool" and "Flamengo" aren't great for readability
"The Reds" should be explained as Liverpool's nickname before it is used as a standalone
CONCACAF should be used instead of North America (or if the continent really is needed, put it in parenthesis)
"as Rogelio...", this fragment is never finished, so replaced "as" with "through a goal by"
"of a volley" should be "off a volley"
Again, year needed before the competition due to the nature of the CWC
"started poorly" according to who? Is this really necessary? This paragraph should ideally be around the same length as Liverpool's semifinal summary.
"nearly conceded", "different posture", "higher defensive line", "go-ahead header"...language straight out of a match report, and not appropriate for a GA.
"advance" should be "advanced"
Match summary
No coverage of the starting lineups, referee, ceremonies, or kickoff conditions (as mentioned in the infobox)
"find shots" should be "found shots", but this sentence is a wash
"spell of possession", "several sights of goal", "dangerous shot", "tipped over the frame" are all inappropriate terms
"sixty percent possession" needs an "of"
Commas needed after mentioning the minutes
The foul being waived off after video review is not explained well; was this a referee decision?
Post-match
"win" is overused in the first sentence
Should follow up with their respective performances in continental competitions after the tournament
No mention of celebrations in Liverpool? This section is very sparse as it is, so anything to fill it out would be appreciated.
References
All non-English citations need translated titles
The Guardian should be italicized consistently
Ref 6 (BBC Sport) should use CS1 like the other citations
There's not a lot of diversity shown in the choice of sources. A retrospective or two from longer after the match would be ideal.
Assessment
GA review (see
here for what the criteria are, and
here for what they are not)
I'm afraid this article is not ready to be a GA in its current state. I would suggest trying a
peer review and nominating again once these issues have been fixed. SounderBruce 00:36, 24 September 2021 (UTC)reply
