The 2017 Champions League Final Thread

[Guest]

An hour before kick off and no thread for the biggest game in club football? To quote (Good Golly I'm a Wally) Olly, crazy scenes!

Who we got then fellas?

I'm going 3-1 Real and Ronaldo to have a worldie.

[westisbest]

Enjoy the game Freek.

No interest in watching, but will go 3-2 the mad rids.

Bale to score in his home town.

[wisden]

I want Juve to win, want Buffon to finally win the champions league..

[westisbest]

Put a bet on so hope 3-2 Madrid.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Ronny!

Who else!

I want Juve to win, want Buffon to finally win the champions league..

Yeah, it'll be a shame if he retires without at least one Big Ears to his name.

[GSC]

Looked like Bonucci just took it away from Buffon

[GSC]

Dybala not having a good day

[GSC]

1-1

[GSC]

What a finish that is from Mandzukic

[GSC]

Ramos gets his obligatory yellow

[Guest]

A real peach. Decent final thus far.

[GSC]

Juve more positive but Real keep picking them off on the counter

[GSC]

Real look rattled. Juve controlling the midfield at the moment. Allegri with the upper hand on Zidane atm

[Afro]

Ramos gets his obligatory yellow

Part of a bet I did. Ramos to get a card, Higuain to score anytime and Juve to win 9/1

[GSC]

Reals FBs are cooped in, having to commit a lot of fouls to keep Juve back

[GSC]

1-1 at HT

Juve probably happier with that after going behind

[Guest]

Hows your luck. Shame if that's the winner

[GSC]

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Buffon beaten twice by deflections

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Ronaldo just explodes into life when you need anticipation

[Guest]

Game over

[GSC]

Yep. Feel for Juve but theyve been picked off

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Cant call it picked off second half. It's been all Real

[Guest]

I shoulda put a spoiler tag in the OP.

Dolph, change my name to The Prophet

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Ramos is a c*nt

[Guest]

What an utter scumbag.

[eirebilly]

I am a casual soccer fan but that red card is a disgrace. Ramos, attempted to get a fellow professional sent off by direct cheating. He should receive a ban.

Its why I do not watch soccer so much.

[GSC]

The very definition of a pr1ck

[Guest]

Football is gonna be a poorer place when Ronaldo and Messi ride off into the sunset. I might cry.

[Afro]

Awesome second half from Real. Stepped up a gear in the second half and showed their extra class.

Modric MotM for me.

[Guest]

Zinedine Zidane seems to know what he is doing. Two Champions League titles and a La Liga Title after 16 months. He even managed to bring on "half injured" Cardiff Boy Gareth Bale at 77 minutes.

[Guest]

Think it's been a relatively weak competition this year, along with the EL. Madrid have been the standout side, but you wouldn't call it a great team.

Credit to Zidane, but I think they've been helped that Atletico's era has ended (a team Real Madrid has had huge issues overcoming recently), Bayern stagnating or regressing under Ancelotti, PSG still doing PSG things, Barca needing a sizeable rebuild & the biggest threat from England, coming from Leicester.

[GSC]

I'd call it a great team but thats just me.

Seen a lot of great teams fail to retain the thing.

[Guest]

I don't think they're the level of Peps Barcelona team of a few years ago but I'm not gonna argue against them being tagged a great team. Retaining aint easy, baby.

The AC Milan team of the late 80's/early - mid 90's is still the best club side I have seen. The 94 Milan side beats anybody during my lifetime.

[eirebilly]

Here was me thinking that something would have been made of Ramos' disgraceful actions today by the powers that be...

Soccer continues to be corrupt.
