Champions League final thread

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

First topic message reminder :

7:45pm. Lisbon. Madrid Derby

Doesn't get much bigger than this!

Benzema and Pepe doubts for Real, appears Costa may make it for Atletico

I can't call it, I hope Atletico do it for not only our resident Madrid fan Kia, but also to top off a fairytale season.



Can't beat a bit of champions league anthem

[CFCNick]

I prefer Miranda

[Guest]

Godin has been a beast; as per usual!! And duty thinks Uruguay only have Suarez and Cavani!

If Bale, Ronaldo and Co can't get past Godin then I don't see Welbeck and Sturridge fairing much better.

Credit to Simeone, incredible achievement regardless of if they go on to win this. Is this the birth of the 'Special One Part II'...

No because I'm waiting for the Special One part I.

And don't be killing Duty's dreams like that!

[GSC]

Bale has been absolutely ****e

[TopoftheChops]

atletico playing the perfect game at the moment

I hope you're not one those people that slagged off Chelsea for doing the same.

against barca? I was happy with that performance

[Fernando]

Atletico 1-1 Real - Ramos

Extra time here we come.

Well, in that semi and the final.

If everyone played the same way the same teams would always win things. Sports need "boring" teams and "hoof ball" teams to add variety and shocks.

[CFCNick]

Ramos has had a shockingly bad night.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Always have someone on the post...

[GSC]

Boom, most beautiful man in the game

[kingraf]

YES!!!!

[GSC]

Much like Hull a week ago, what have Atletico got left

[The Special Juan]

There's only one team winning this now.

[GSC]

Are Atletico going to lose 2 CLs (not finals for the smart arses) on injury time goals

[kingraf]

Ramos is a prime time player. An absolute beast. Expect him to get a red card, or miss a penalty in the next 40 minutes

[GSC]

I do love Ramos

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Well as Kia has said Atletico have shown great character and resolve this season, this is the ultimate test of that now...

[Guest]

I do love Ramos

If he played for, lets say, Liverpool, he'd be a pr!ck but yeah when he keeps his mouth shut and actually plays the game he's decent.

[GSC]

Every test is the ultimate test it seems haha

You got any fingernails left Rafa?

That was too close to the bone.

Hes that lovable guy whos always in scraps

[GSC]

Will Bale pull a Ramsey and redeem himself in extra time.

Ronaldo show up?

Villa remind the world of his talent?

[Guest]

I'm calling a Ronaldo blockbuster.

Torres had a better final and he only played 10 minutes.

[GSC]

Fascinating Nick. I was just wondering to myself what Chelsea spin could we apply to this final.

[CFCNick]

Glad I could be of assistance. Although I was going for the "crap player" angle rather than Chelsea comparison.

[Guest]

Fascinating Nick. I was just wondering to myself what Chelsea spin could we apply to this final.

  

I was thinking that the 1970 FA Cup winning Chelsea side would have held out them last couple of minutes of normal time.

[Bull]

Boring

Mate I'm dying out here. Felt like killing Bale at various points. €100m, ey?

[owen10ozzy]

Given the attacking talent it's disgusting that Real have barely put a good ball into the box tonight!

And why no one takes the ball of Ronaldo on a free kick is beyond me; he really isn't that good at them. Stat on ESPN or some site the other day that stated he has only scored 6 FK from 90 odd attempts this season!

[kingraf]

Think Real snatch this in the second half of extra time

[kingraf]

6/90 is decent going. Beckham only has about 45 career FK goals, so would need to have taken less than 675 for a better record.

[The Special Juan]

Neither as good as Yaya Toure this season though. It was a scary conversion rate, wasn't it?

[CFCNick]

I really hope this doesn't go to penalties. If I was in charge of UEFA I'd make the Champions League and Europa League finals golden goal and if nobody scores in the 30 minutes they play another 30 minutes.

[Guest]

And after them 30 minutes?

I'd like to see run ins from the halfway line ala Ice Hockey.

5+ a season is amazing.

People are idiots.

[Fernando]

2-1 bale

[Guest]

Will Bale pull a Ramsey and redeem himself in extra time.

It's on!!!!

[The Special Juan]

I'm shocked Bale didn't miss that.

[GSC]

Bale at the 6th time of asking

This idea is from ice hockey. In the playoffs if nobody scores in overtime they just carry on until someone scores. Game between Chicago and St Louis started 1am UK time and finished at 5:30 last month. Winner scored near the start of the 3rd overtime.


How ironic that I just saw Gareth Fail is trending on twitter.

[GSC]

Is destiny to beat organisation

[kingraf]

I fuc.king hate Bale. Scores from a tap-in... the pr!ck. Made me double £100 though.

[Duty281]

Townsend appeared to take personal delight at that goal.

Atletico have been gone since the 80th minute.

[Ent]

Bale, how lucky is he?

Left with a tap in after being atrocious the whole game.

[Bull]

Game Over

[The Special Juan]

He nearly missed it!! The contact was terrible.

[GSC]

Iker wont be at Real next season

[kingraf]

Casillas doing his best to lose this though.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Someone hug simeone for me

Poor man

[GSC]

Its been a fairytale season for Atletico, is there anything in the tank
